Master of the Hula Hoops | Elena Lev | Cirque du Soleil
• Master of the Hula Hoo... - Розваги
Your act is the reason I started hula hooping and wanted to perform, I use to watch your act over and over in my dorm room, just wondering and believing I could learn just a fraction of your foot hooping skills. Thank you for the inspiration ♥️
Elena, you are marvellous. Have been transfixed by your performance in Allegria for years.
Her performance is impeccable and captivating, you’re a wonderful person Elena, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!
Thank you so much.
elena inspires me since I was little, I always admired her ❤️🥺
Super que padre ver a ELENA nuevamente, un abrazo desde Tepotzotlan Estado de México
Ever since I watched Alegria, I have been a huge fan of Elena Lev! Elena you are the Greatest! Your hoola hoop routines are Fantastic! I look forward to seeing you perform live!
Hi Elena! I am your biggest fan! I was so excited when I saw that Cirque posted this video. You inspired me to learn hula hoops, and I really look up to you! Thank you so much!!! Thank you all on Cirque Du Soleil! I will be in the audience once again when this virus ends. ❤❤
edit:
I forgot to say,
I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!
Thank you so much, love you too.

When I first saw her do her act in a video, it was unworldly and perfect. I was able to see her in person. Amazing.
Incredible video much love to Lev 🥰 and thank god her act is recorded, unforgettable!!!
Thank you so much
I've never seen a mistake on Elena's act, just awesome! I love her
Uau 😱 This was life changing... all this advertisements were not only for a performance but for anybody... I'm now a super fan of her!!

Thank you haha
OH MY GOOOOD😱😱😱 Love her
Merci.Thank you, Spasibo.
Im ready check
I have been a fan of Cirque after first seeing them in Vegas many years ago and in San Diego one time. My business took me to Vegas and I discovered how to always get a ticket at the last moment. This presentation reveals the heart of the performers in a way I never understood. I hope they are soon able to travel safely so we can see them in real life.
Thank you so very much for your honestly , directness and depth of thought. Your observations and advice is suited for the whole range of the occupations. Will recommend your interview for all my friends who are currently studying.
You are so welcome and glad it is helpful. Good luck with the studies.
Much appreciate it, thank you.
You are such an example, thank you for following your joy
This was an amazing advice session. Great words spoken, wise and true. Elena, you were brought up well, and your name "Lev" suits you so well.. lion!
After seeing you perform your act many times, it was wonderful to finally get to know you here, and learn what you have gone through to bring it to us. I can now see you are a very impressive person too. Last weekend, I showed Alegria to my 8 year old great grand daughter. You were her favorite performer, and you can add her, as yet another new fan. Thank you, so much.
I love a lot this girl. She is my inspiration, her words took so deep on my mind and my soul. Thanks Elena. Greeting from Venezuela.
THIS. IS. THE. MOUST. BEAUTIFULL. AND. INSPIRATIONAL. VIDEO. EVER...TNKS. AND OUR. LOVE. AND. BLESSINGS. GO. TO. YOU.....😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Balance is the key! What a beautiful inspirational and very humble approach to not just performing but life in general = keep up the master messages they are very empowering and a strong reminder to stay mentally physically and emotionally healthy and strong 🧚
Bloody BEAUTIFULL, what a LADY.
Simply Inspiring!,love gymnastics and only recently watched Cirque widely,,Elena captivates the discipline and bravery of the performers,,I’m now a huge fan of cirque de soleil,,incredible people ..
I have only ever seen one live performance and that was Alegría!! Miss Lev, I must say I was taken back by your beauty and grace. I could not take my eyes off of you!! I did not know your name until today, but your performance told me I just had to have the DVD of the show, which I have watched many times and on UA-cam. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to your craft. You are truly a great professional!! I would also like to say that the presentation of "Master of the Hula Hoops", I was again mesmerized. I have never heard anyone speak with such poise. I see you are still performing, I wish you all the best in the future!!
OMG this is happening! learning from the best
I appreciate it.
This is really insightful and inspiring to me. I am a performing 🎭 artist and recently discovered circus. I'm training in the Lyra and aerial hammock. It hurts yet the pain is worth it. There is times where I don't want to yet then I think of pushing through. How if I were in front of the crowd I'd have to push through.
I see how far up the artists are and I know I could die. I feel scared yet also the thrill because of my training/support I've had. The belief in myself fuels me and I learn to enjoy the pain. I know I have great potential and someday 🙂 my training in new skills will take me there. I believe in it and myself!
Thanks for sharing guys and hope your well! Stay safe 💖 circus fam!
Alegria got cancelled due to covid and I am so sad I don't get to see Elena Lev. Since she was one of the first persons I really loved performing when I saw Alegria on Bravo channel way way back in the day.
Not just Alegria, all the shows around the world. Hope you will get to see it again. Thank you.
@@elenalev1089 Yup I know they are all closed. I hope you are with Alegria when they open back up! Thank you for responding Elena, you made me a Cirque fan some 20+ years ago!
(Thanks for telling everybody about the cancellation of Algeria’s tour and I was very very said to everybody in du soliel so thank you very very much for your help)
Oo and #alegria
hi Elena you are the one who inspired me to start hula hooping
She is amazing! Watched Alegria DVD so many times and repeated the scenes! Also Quidam and La Nooba! Could you please bring Audrey back to an interview about her time in Quidam? Her voice was so amazing
Thank you, I appreciate it.
This is ASMR gold !
Thank you.
Right!
That's why she is the greatest. Good way of thinking 👏🏻
Elena you are a queen! As a fan, I have already seen your performance a thousand times on dvd. It is perfection itself. Love the music, love the costume, love the ability with the hoops, love the flexibility. There is not a single aspect of the number that is not perfect. even though the music has not real lyrics, I know how to sing it from the many times I have watched Elena do her magic.
How exciting was to hear about the backstage life, the circus hard work and the touring routines. Thanks for inspiring us all Elena.
Thanks for the Quidam clip at 12:06. I had heard about the Veiled Lady falling off the stage during German Wheel as the reason for modifying the costume for better visibility, but didn't know one was Elena. Also nice to know the official name of the character--I had always referred to her as Lady Liberty.
Thank you.
This is amazing🖤🖤🖤
Thank you.
That was special. Thank you.
Thank you.
this video was honestly amazing. lots of good stuff was mentioned. thank you for making this video❤️
Thank you.
@@elenalev1089 of course :) it really inspired me !!
This was so wonderful! I listened to it while making a hula hoop!
So inspirational to learn from you; to hear about your determination & will. From a fellow Performing Artist - in the Music industry.
What a great presentation. My first Cirque experience was Mystere in '99, but it was always hard to tell people why it was so good until I showed them Algreia. Your hoop routine, the Russian beams, and the music make for an incredible experience and they usually get why I'm a fan. Wish it was on Blu-ray. Thank for doing this.
Heyecanla bekliyorum 🌼
this is actually great advice for an aspiring circus performer like myself 💞
oh my god, i love this woman so much. absolutely in love with her
You are one of the most memorable acts out there! I was in high school when I first saw your act. Im now 38! Lol
I had the biggest crush on this girl based on her incredible act. :) Still kinda do. :)
lol, I appreciate it.
@@elenalev1089 Well this is one of the best things that's happened to me in a while. :) I hope you're well, and happy. :)
You are a very Beautiful but Wise young lady! I’ve always been a huge fan of yours since I first saw you perform and even though I’ve never met you,
I’m very Proud of what you have accomplished!
Being a single mother is the hardest job in the world!!! And everything else you accomplished is amazing. This was a great video and Thank You making this and all of your performances!!
This is very cool and insightful.
Beyond hula hoop this is just great life advice in general.
i was a circus performer from when i was born but i am a aerialist and i do ground works if aerial is not a option. yes the circus world is physically demanding of actual blood, sweat and tears but that is why i love it! i always thought of the circus world as hogwarts because of all the people with crazy amazing talents learning off each other and just enjoying what we do.
I love this.
Intense. Fully passionate. Such a Unique Life!
Елена, Вы великолепная. Бесконечная грация. Трудяга. Здоровья и храни Вас Бог!
С любовью из Москвы
I can only say that i love you miss Elena Lev
Excelente, muito bom!
Very enjoyable to hear your voice, see your natural beauty, and hear your philosophy ! My Best Friend is 90, and was a Broadway Dancer, until a girl fell on him. Since he was a performer, he became a Playwright & Producer ...
i`m impressed!
WAW. AT. LAST. OOOO. GOD. SHE. IS. EVEN. MORE. INCREDIBLE. EVERY TIME. WE LOVE. HER...SHE. IS. SUPER AWESOME...BLESSED BE...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Elena, I've watched your hoop act from Alegria on UA-cam countless times and I never ever get sick of it, nor do I think I ever will. It inspires me and reminds me of what I love so much about performing and influencing the emotions of the audience. I'm 26, I live in Australia and I have no athletic/gymnastics/acrobatics training, but I love acting and I've done some screen work. Is it too late for me to join Cirque and/or learn something I can do on stage?
Her hula hoop act in Algeria changed my life…
You are amazing!
Woah can't wait to watch it. But I didn't knew she was in Varekai once, I tought she was in Wintuk, Zaia and Zumanity.
And also Alegria. Don't know why they didn't mention it.
Maybe because she was part of the old production and not the new "reimagined" production.
@@DonDuracell no she was in the new production as well. One of the only cast members to be in both I think.
The video's description box lists her performing in Alegría, Saltimbanco, VAREKAI, & Quidam.
Never been on Varekai. Algeria, Quidam, Wintuk, Zumanity.
I'm loving ❤❤❤❤
You're look reminds me of Lagartha from the show Vikings...
I love it! Beautiful!
Toda una artista
Beauty! 💕💕.
She is so insanely beautiful and talented. She looks like a godess
Hermosa excelente...
The GOAT 🐐🐐!!!!
Eres perfección Elena
загуглил слово хулахуп и попал на эпизод из алегрии с Еленой, потом пошло-поехало, оказывается Алегрия презжала в Казань, собрал монатки и поехал с детьми в цирк. Лену не увидел, но цирк шикарный, тащусь. Спасибо гугл и Лена!
Елена Прекрасная
Spasibo
Im very excited big energy power iantejada is the world power
In Alegria they gave you the most amazing song...and you just play tribute to how beautiful it is with your perfomrance...
Why did they change the music (Cerceaux) on her performance? Is it about copyrights? And I notice her performance is less than a minute than her old Alegria performance, is it about aging?
thank You on 11-Mar-2022. 10:20 PM.
Please be sure to be able to tour with the world to see you guys again very very soon love you guys from Nasyi nana
WOW!!! She is beautifull woman
Вы великолепны! Это очень вдохновляет.

Лена, говори по-русски. Терпеть не могу американ. Бритиш лучше.
Она может говорить так, как ей нравится, поскольку она говорит по-английски, потому что живет в Америке. Кроме того, британцы и американцы говорят на одном языке, так что какая разница? Если английский тебя так расстраивает, то зачем ты вообще смотришь это видео?
