Mme. Hermine Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Someone I didn't expect to see on YouTube, but did find these 3 clips. I saw him dance once and thought he was wonderful. Link to comment
Lovebird Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 He died tragically at a young age from leukimia. I remember speaking with Eva Evdokimova( also, recently passed away, so sad, she was a great and wonderful person) and she had happy memories of dancing a pas de deux with him, I think Cranko's Romeo and Juliet, she said he was a great partner and a very nice person as well, I believe he did some charity work toward the end of his life.

Mme. Hermine Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 He did a tour with what was then the Chicago Ballet, dancing with Margot Fonteyn, and before that came to Chicago to dance in Ruth Page's Nutcracker, which is where I saw him dancing both Snow and Cavalier, and died only about 6 months later in 1975. I had just never seen anything quite like him and he was not only a wonderful dancer but liked by everybody. Link to comment
