A beautiful routine by the Aomori University men's rhythmic gymnastics team. [More:]
I don't exactly watch a lot of gymnastics, so I don't know if this kind of routine is, well, routine. But someone showed this to me and I thought it was breathtaking.
Wow, that was amazing! There's an UNREAL flip at 1:50-1:55 or so, in the "bottom left" corner that made me rewind a few times, and I still don't know how he did it.

Damn, that was gorgeous. The unison in particular was quite good, especially there at the beginning when they're holding very long poses. And I loved the tumbling passes where they are so close to, and in fact leaping over, one another. Really special.

There are a bunch of other related videos - would like to watch them, but have to go to bed! Thanks for posting this. It was neat.

This is really cool.

It seemed vaguely familiar, and then I realized that, although they are nowhere near the level of these dancers, the high school drill teams I watched for eight years when my sons where in high school are doing something similar. Here's a link to what they do. Like I said, not near as athletic as the rhythmic gymnastics team, but a similar idea. And I think these drill teams will be doing more athletic stuff in the future, maybe someday approaching what the gymnastics team is doing now. Bonus is the music, played by the marching band my sons used to play with. I kind of miss that. Watching the video, I think the leftmost guy wearing a blue shirt on the bench in the foreground is me. :)
