What's with the extra beat? That's not the "Everything in its right place" I know.

Absolutely beautiful, thank you. The first one, that is. The second video is one of the more disturbing things I have ever seen.

Kind of unexpectedly, we've gone from being a family with a son who dances a bit and we think he's quite good but hey we're his parents, what do we know, to being a family with a son who has been headhunted to join a ballet company's academy and is, with luck and hard work, looking at a professional career as a ballet dancer.

I'm trying to learn a lot about something that I started off knowing very little about, but I can watch this and forget about the technical aspects and absolutely understand why he loves every moment he is dancing - that grace, and beauty, and control.

That's great! 1000 fps, wow.

I was expecting to see ballerinas shot from a cannon at 1000 feet per second, so a little disappointed over here.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up, I almost clicked.

I like that first video.

Also, you can find stuff similar to the second link by searching for "slitscan". This one is really good. This one is also good.

How the hell can two people be so ridiculously synchronized such that their motions mirror at 1000 fps?

SlitScan previously, and more weird photography tricks and tweaks from professor Andrew Davidhazy (MeFi self-link).

Thank you. It's gorgeous, and I can't, of course, help but recall the 1996 Jonathan Glazer-directed video for Street Spirit which performed similar experiments with slow motion and dance.

This is not the Internet of a few years ago. Sound can be muted. Quite easily too.
