Ballet Gods


When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to see Rudolf Nuryev perform during his final tour. This afternoon, I saw a performance by perhaps the other greatest dancer of the 20th century: Mikhail Baryshnikov. I have long been an admirer of his (okay, I may have had a giant poster of him in my room until I graduated from college...), but this was the first time I've ever seen him perform live.
All I can say about it is: wow.

Love Mikhail!! It's great to hear his still performing. I haven't heard much about him recently.
