From what I understand contortionists usually begin training at a young age, which means they are usually born into circus performing families. Cirque du Soleil always features amazing contortionists in their shows (there's a new one in town that I'm going to see in a few weeks... yippee!) Even with early training, it is still amazing, though, that any human body can be that flexible. I'd be interested to hear if anyone finds out the background of this Turkish male dancer (it says on YouTube that his is Turkish anyway...)
But yes, as amazing as his body movements are, I was really wishing he'd break out and dance already...
