I love Nureyev! He could really not sing (and he hated being told so), but what a charm, what a magic! Besides being the greatest dancer of the century of course...
no matter what alot of little kids got to see real dancing via this episode and others tap ballet etc, i got my son to not hate classical music via exposing him to it early, and i explained that the athletes that dancers are, so idk
i love nureyev!!!! hes was multitalented man did you now he once do a duet with feed astaire ?????? this man was good in everything he does. and hes was so cute!!! now that a legend
...did he just gun down all the muppets? :O

"[Fred Astaire] was not just the best ballroom dancer, or tap dancer, he was simply the greatest, most imaginative, dancer of our time."
-- Rudolf Nureyev
This is Nureyev's tribute to Astaire.

Fred Astaire did, and he's another legend in his own right. :P
Nureyev is obviously imitating him here.

Well, actually Irving Berlin wrote the lyrics to "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails". Now there's yet another legend in his own right.

He is still the absolute ideal of a male dancer! It's good to see he had some fun moments in his career. I miss his genius and beauty.
