I was going to answer your question, but it seems like you got to it before I had the chance. Hopefully her/his? name is as cool as his/her? dancing skills! I'm sorry, Russian names aren't my forte to decipher.
I shall give you some background info on Mikhail. Mikhail Baryshnikov was the star of the Kirov Ballet (considered one of the best ballet companies in the world) until he moved to America. When he got here, he starred in many productions with the New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre (the two best companies, in my opinion, in the United States). He went on to become the artistic director of ABT until he retired. He has now created his own small dance company based in New York. He also starred in several films such as The Turning Point and several stage productions as well. He is 58 now. Reader's Digest version: He's one of the best male ballet dancers in history.
that's pretty kick-ass. my friend, andrew, actually tried out for that same production. i'm actually glad he didn't get in. apparently baryshnikov loves to flirt with all the younger guys.
basically, amazing dancer, gross old man. whatevs.
