past kirov glory

Natalya Dudinskaya and Nicholas Sergeyev of the Kirov in the 50s in Swan Lake. Then a pas de six starring the young Nureyev and Ninel Kurgapkina. Note how he is already imitating the feminine elongated style of the ballerina, still far away from true partnering, yet already creating his own powerful style in Laurentia. Enjoy!
