A dancer collapsed and died on stage and was applauded by the audience who thought it was all part of the show.
The 48-year-old man identified as R Khusainov, was performing a traditional lezginka dance when he fell ill.
The performance, which was recorded by a member of the audience on a smartphone, shows him collapsing to the floor while performing in the town of Urus-Martan in south-western Russia's Chechen Republic.
The audience laughed and whooped but it quickly became clear that something was very wrong and other members of the cast came onto the stage to check on the dancer.
Paramedics were called and arrived quickly at the venue but Mr Khusainov, who worked as a children's dance teacher, was already dead.
They said that the dancer, who had a history of heart disease, had died from a cardiac arrest.
