This Ballet Routine Set To Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” Is So Beautiful It Hurts

If you don’t recognize the name Sergei Polunin, you’re about to have it stuck in your head all day.

The 25-year-old Ukrainian dancer is known as the tatted-up “bad boy” of ballet.

Yep, this former member of the British Royal Ballet is here to make you feel things.

This video of his improvised dance to “Take Me to Church” by Hozier, directed by photographer David LaChapelle, is probably as close to perfection as you can get.

Polunin’s stunning performance matches the emotional intensity of Hozier’s lyrics flawlessly.

And the things he can do with his body?! *jaw drop*

If you didn’t enjoy ballet before…

…consider yourself a convert to the Church of Sergei.

*fans self*

*says a quick prayer*

Amen.
