Interesting Facts

     One fact that I found interesting was when the Soviet Union wanted to show just how great Natalia was in their country in reaction to the defected Rudolf Nureyev. She was also the first artistic exile to be invited back to perform in the Soviet Union. She returned to her hometown of Leningrad to perform with the Kirov Ballet on the same stage where she began her successful career. Another fact that I thought was interesting was that Makarova shared her knowledge and expertise in teaching and coaching young dancers and passing down her experience to future generations. A third fact about her was that she was known to be a very versatile dancer, she was known for her versatility excelling in both classical and contemporary ballet. With her large cheekbones, expressive eyes, and willowy limbs, Makarova has become one of the greatest ever to put on a pair of tights and toe shoes.
