Well, now another type of dance on the frozen continent is however viral, which is granted, this one is a little more majestic than the hop bob.

New Zealand Choreographer Corey Baker has partnered withAustralian dancer Madeleine Graham of the Royal Ballet of New Zealand to create the first dance video in Antarctica.Baker first had the idea ofAntarctic: the first danceThree years ago, but it was not until February he could bring his vision to life.

Filming in the coldest climate on the planet, was not as an effort that Baker makes him appear in the video.

"We could never do 10 to 20 seconds at a time. We should put coats, the warm Madeleine and everyone at the top, re-stading, redo and film again," Baker said.

During the 12 days, the professional ballerina had really agitated, climbing mountains, camping and even pissing into buckets. It's likeThe Revenant: Ballet Edition. Not to mention most choreography should be designed together, taking into account the elements.
