Zhantra Entertainment has recently merged dance and technology to create a captivating spectacle. Resembling characters from sci-fi films such as Blade Runner and Minority Report, dancer Milena looks like she has stepped straight out of a cyberpunk future world. Dressed in an outfit custom-designed by Zhantra’s in-house designer, Gustavo, featuring LED lights, 17 individual lasers, and ballerina point shoes, the Bionic Ballerina displays moves that seem to defy the laws of human flexibility.

Milena is a classically trained ballerina, having studied in Russia since she was five years old. Her stage presence and choreography are spellbinding, however you may need some convincing that she's not a replicant.

Although the Bionic Ballerina costume is not for sale, Melina can be booked for performances through Zhantra Entertainment, a company that provides performers for nightclubs and special events in Miami. Check out her performance in the video below:

i gotta say, this is a borderline article... if it weren't for the girl, It'd be a toss.

Borderline? Hardly. This is basically a pathetic ad for a stripper with Christmas lights. Gizmag, I'm quickly losing interest in your half-baked articles of late.

Agreed, this is really low quality.

I know a lot of articles here are press releases but this is just lazy ad.

Cool, a dancing Christmas tree!

So, what's the difference between a ballerina and a stripper? :)

To all you bah-humbugs... I must have missed the part where someone held a gun to your head and forced you to read the article. The title clearly states what is contained herein. If you didn't WANT to see a LED-clad ballerina, why did you even look at the article?! Not every article has to be so techy that only Sheldon would approve.

Lighten up.

"Cool, a dancing Christmas tree! "

I was only wondering where she keeps the batteries...

I can't believe you guys are bitchin about a scantily clad woman dancing! Hello!!! Did you trade in your gonads for brains? Step away from the computer and get a life! Buy a Harley, go to a strip club, get laid!

Hmm. Considering the talk-up of the dancer, I expected more than a little display of flexibility and shimmying. She looked bored out of her mind and improvising well below standard. I guess she didn't have much room to move about in, but I certainly wouldn't book her. "Captivating LED light dance sequence" is false advertising.
