Denis Sergovskiy, all 6'1" of him

An interesting thing about bump-n-grind male revue beefcake dancers from Russia: there are occasions that it's obvious they were trained at Soviet state run circus and dance schools. For instance, at Denis Sergovskiy's old Las Vegas show, "From Russia With Love," they position a female audience member on a chair, over which the big Russian does a handstand right over it...and several lift the chair and hoist it above the air.

As if that wasn't intriguing enough, supposedly they were going to also have an aerial wire-work scenario. It's Cirque de Soleil stuff like that, that really just makes Vegas muscle revues so memorable.

Denis Sergivskiy is a shockingly huge 6'1", with startling symmetry and definition; he's like a Greek statue, if one of them decided to get a little bit more in-your-face massive.

Listen to Denis's strikingly baritone, masculine voice in this vid. Considering other muscle athletes (ahem, Ron Coleman) have voices that are a cross between Minnie Mouse and Mike Tyson, this was something of a relief.



If you don't want to watch this whole thing, just skip ahead to 0:50, for the poolside shots.



The near transparent muscle shirt that Denis Sergoviskiy is playing dress-up with here is actually not just an oddball male stripper prop, but is in fact a real piece of clothing: it's a variation on the Cuban guayabera worn in the Phillippines.

Although Denis, we love your legs and bouncy, tight muscled butt, but please, do avoid the bicycle shorts. You're not going for the Olympic kayaking events.
