When she’s not playing the game of faces, angrily reciting her list of enemies or [water-dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Invy0tvOc), _Game Of Throne_s’ Maisie Williams is, well, actually dancing. The actress—who, as [_Vanity Fair_](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/09/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-brother-acrobatics-season-6) points out, once told the[ UK press](http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Maisie-starring-role-Sean-Bean/story-12340725-detail/story.html) that dancing was her first love—has been pirouetting and practicing her jazz hands since she was a young girl and, during breaks from filming, studies performing arts at [Bath Dance College](https://youtu.be/fQaG6z4i0rM). Which explains the following video, posted by Williams to Instagram today:

The short clip shows Williams and her older brother horsing around at the beach and/or practicing for a Cirque De Soleil audition. In a stunning display of acrobatic prowess, Williams climbs onto her brother’s leg and shoulder, balances herself adroitly, gracefully leans to the side, then lets go with both hands and suspends herself in the air. Her resulting wide grin—and the caption—says it all: “If you’re debating whether to have a second child, do it. Siblings are the best things in the world. 💖”

We’re sure Arya Stark—having very few of them these days—would agree.


## Transcript

[00:00] The
[00:02] Game of Thrones season five finale aired sunday and
[00:05] with the end of the season the show has essentially
[00:08] caught up with George R. R. Martin's A song of Ice and
[00:10] Fire series. Throughout the course of the TV series
[00:14] websites like ScreenRant and CheatSheet have
[00:16] discussed the differences between the story told on TV
[00:19] and in Martin's books. But specifically in the last two
[00:22] episodes of season five, we saw new storylines not yet
[00:25] revealed to book readers, and some fans aren't so
[00:28] happy. Prepare for spoilers. In episode nine, Dance of
[00:31] Dragons, Stannis Baratheon most likely lost his entire
[00:34] fan base when he sacrificed his daughter at the stake
[00:37] in a last ditch effort to change his fate with the Lord of
[00:40] Light. Lord of Light, show us the way. Mother. This was
[00:43] one of the first plot lines that Martin suggested to show
[00:46] runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss making it a
[00:49] spoiler for his next book in the series. When George
[00:51] first told us about this, it was one of those moments
[00:54] where I remember looking at Dan I was just like, God
[00:56] that's so, it's so horrible, and so good in a story
[01:01] sense. Because it all comes together. As a result
[01:03] [ UNKNOWN ] wife [ UNKNOWN ] hangs herself in the
[01:05] season finale, right before [ UNKNOWN ] ill- fated
[01:08] march on Windsorfell. Stansis says later, seemingly
[01:10] murdered by, of all people [ UNKNOWN ]. Do you have
[01:12] any last words? In contrast the most recent book, A
[01:17] Dance with Dragons, has Stannis weathering a snow
[01:19] storm and managing depleting supplies and men. But
[01:22] the most confusing plot point for the show is one that
[01:24] the book readers new was coming, John Snows death.
[01:27] When John is stabbed at the end of the fifth novel it is
[01:30] unclear whether he just faints or actually dies. But in
[01:33] the show he's clearly murdered in a scene reminiscent
[01:36] of Julius Caesar's betrayal. This is obviously a big deal,
[01:40] the death of Jon Snow. It's something we've been
[01:41] thinking about for a long, long time. And although Kit
[01:44] Harrington, who plays Snow, and show runners David
[01:46] Benioff and Dan Weiss have all confirmed that Snow is
[01:49] Is in fact dead. Martin has avoided answering whether
[01:52] or not Snow will make appearance in the upcoming
[01:55] Winds for Windsor novel. The book is rumored for
[01:57] release later this year. As for the series, we'll just have
[02:00] to wait until Spring 2016.
