    His jumps are sensational, and I've never seen anyone plié during a series of pirouettes, but what is most extraordinary is his freedom, abandon, and joy.

    I could fall in love with Tetsuya, if only for the joy of watching him dance. I loved the fluidity of his shoulders in the second part when he was very young and had still shorter hair. Why do I not just cut to the chase? I feel elation when I watch him dance. What more could I possibly ask for?

    One thing i learned from watching Noureev both in person and on video is that while you get a clear picture of a dancer’s technique from a video, you do not often get the full picture of a person’s depth of artistry. This guy has wonderful technique (not terribly unusual these days) but he kind of leaves me cold as do many others who present excellence in other areas. I have seen maybe 3 or four videos of Noureev that come close to what it was to see him in person and they are not the usual ones that people reference…. Anyway he is quite good.

      Remember, he's really from a previous generation, when unparalleled male technique tended to be restricted to the top tier companies. Push was choreographed for a smaller body with different proportions, so it's even more amazing that he's staying comfortaly with the music. And Honestly, if he were at his peak today (not sure if he's still dancing at 50) he'd still be exceptional

      The idea that male dancers are only there to showcase, support and lift the ballerina is terribly outdated! This was true a century ago! These skills are only a part of the male dancers attributes. And there are videos of Kumakawa's outstanding partnering available.

    promoted to principal in 1993, age 21.
