Rudolf Nureyev

by Cristina Franchi (Editor), Cristina Franchi (Editor)

The first international ballet superstar, Nureyev defected from Russia in 1961 and first appeared with The Royal Ballet in 1962. His phenomenal technique, his appetite for new dance experiences and his flamboyant lifestyle brought ballet to the attention of a wider audience and raised the status of male dancing.

While I was never a Nureyev fan, (Baryshnikov all the way baby); you can't argue that he had strength and style.
