Oh yes Leigh, he's worth adding to the list

[nysusan]

From the past - Michael Denard

Among today's dancers there is no contest for me: I think Marcello Gomes may well be the sexiest man on the planet.  And what a wonderful dancer!

Frederic Franklin was quite a handsome fellow in his youth---and he is still beautiful.   :rolleyes:

Greek God: Peter Martins
Soulful: Baryshnikov
Hot: Edward Villella
Beyond divine: Igor Youskevitch
Handsomest Choreographer: Paul Taylor (he guested with NYCB, so I am grandfathering him into the ballet thread)
The Handsomest Man in the World: dancer Rob Besserer
I am not including people I did not see in person, though I met Villella and Youskevitch after they retired from the stage. From the photographic evidence, the Danes have consistently populated dance with the handsomest of the handsome.

Jorge Donn....he was amazing!

[Mme. Hermine]

I can see it now, the "Ballet Beefcake" calendar!!!!!!

[Old Fashioned]

Unbelievable no one has mentioned Jose Manuel Carreno.

[GabbyN]

Sir Anthony Dowell and Maxim Belotserkovsky

[carbro]

I logged on, Old Fashioned, with the intent of adding Jose Carreno , more on the sexy list than the handsome list, but he is handsome.

Also sexy, Andris Liepa , IMO the most charming man in ballet until Marcelo   burst onto the scene.

Back to handsome, how could I (and you, out there) have forgotten Arne Villumsen?

And why are there so many Danes?  Wow, for such a small nation, they must have quite a gene pool!

[Hans]

Danish people are GORGEOUS...not that I'm biased or anything ;)

I'd say Belotserkovsky, Andris Liepa, Angel Corella, and of course, Nureyev.  

Also, I desperately want to add Victor Baranov, but I'm so fascinated by his legs and feet that I honestly can't remember what his face looks like.  I do recall that he and Larissa Lezhnina complement each other perfectly.

For me - Nikolai Tsiskaridze. See: http://www.tsiskaridze.ru/page-bio.htm

[coda]

For me - Nikolai Tsiskaridze and Laurent Hilaire. This is the kind of a discussion where people can never agree completely: beauty is in the beholder's eye.

[canbelto]

Past: Peter Martins
Present: Marcelo Gomes (cant believe no one's mentioned him) and Carreno

I knew you would chime in for him, Carbro.

I've always thought Jock Soto was good looking.

Simon Ball, very handsome and princely.

[oberon]

Jock Soto, Marcelo Gomes, Amar Ramasar, David Hallberg, Albert Evans, Jose Manuel Carreno, Steve Hanna, Craig Hall, Seth Orza, Adam Hendrickson, Vincent Paradiso, and I think Eddie Liang is really attractive, too.

Women? No one holds a candle to Helene Alexopoulos...but Korbes & Golbin are right up at the top and I have always found Amanda Edge and Carrie Lee Riggins quite striking. Miranda Weese is gorgeous, she is in fact delectable...
