Meet Sergei Polunin, the bad boy rock star of the ballet world and arguably one of the world's best dancers.
Vimeo released Hozier's 'Take Me To Church' music video last week, and the 25 -year-old tattooed Ukrainian native is the main attraction.

Whether it's the tattoos, his already notorious reputation, or the sheer awesomeness of his athleticism and skill---the internet is ablaze with talk about it.
The video, directed by David LaChapelle, shows the Ballerino in nothing but a pair of nude tights dancing in a wide open space (presumably a church?) to the ballad. If 'Footloose' and Sia's 'Chandelier' had a lovechild, this music video would be their baby.

Polunin, a former dancer in Britain's Royal Ballet, is now in Moscow with the Stanislavsky Music Theatre. You can also catch him starring in Marc Jacobs Campaign's.
