The art of dance is a unique form of expression that uses a universal body language that everyone can understand. From ballet to modern dance, from hip-hop to salsa and from oriental dance to flamenco - dance has recently become a delight that is a kind of renaissance.
But when it comes to individual dancers, who has the best moves? The best posture, strength and sharpness? Below are ten of the greatest dancers of the twentieth century - selected for their fame, popularity and influence on world art dance.
10. Vaslav Nijinsky
Vaslav Nijinsky was one of the most talented ballet dancers in history, perhaps even the greatest. Unfortunately, there is no clear footage that captures his incredible talent in motion, which is the main reason he only ranks tenth on this list.
Nijinsky was well known for his amazing ability to defy gravity with his magnificent jumps, as well as his ability to fully fall into the role he played. He is also known for dancing en pointe, a skill not often found in dancers. Nijinsky danced in the lead roles in tandem with legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova. Then Tamara Karsavina, founder of London's Royal Academy of Dancing, became his partner. They spoke of them with Karsavina as "the most worthy of imitation artists of that time."
Nijinsky left the stage in 1919, at the relatively young age of twenty-nine. His retirement is believed to have been due to a nervous breakdown and he was also diagnosed with schizophrenia. Nijinsky spent last years their lives in psychiatric hospitals and asylums. The last time he danced in public at last days World War II, impressing a group of Russian soldiers with their intricate dance moves. Nijinsky died in London on April 8, 1950.
9 Martha Graham
Martha Graham is considered the mother of modern dance. She created the only fully codified modern dance technique, choreographed over one hundred and fifty works in her lifetime as a choreographer, and has had a profound impact on all areas of modern dance.
The deviation of her technique from classical ballet, and the use of certain body movements such as contraction, release and spirals, had a profound effect on the world of dance art. Graham even went so far as to create a movement "language" based on expressive possibilities human body.
She danced and choreographed for over seventy years. During this time, she became the first dancer to perform at the White House; the first dancer to travel overseas as a cultural ambassador and the first dancer to receive the highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As the mother of modern dance, she will be immortalized in people's memory for her incredibly emotional performances, her unique choreography, and especially her homegrown dance technique.
8 Josephine Baker
Although the name Josephine Baker is associated primarily with the Jazz Age, her incendiary dances still have an impact on dance world, almost one hundred and ten years after her birth, as it was before.
Many decades before Madonna, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez, there was Josephine Baker, one of the world's first celebrities of African descent. Josephine went to Paris in 1925 to dance at La Revue Nègre. She made a lasting impression on French audiences with her perfect combination of exotic charm and talent.
The following year she performed at the Folies Bergère and this was the true start of her career. She appeared in a banana skirt and wowed the crowd with her dancing style. She later added singing to her performances, and remained popular in France for many years. Josephine Baker responded to the adoration of the French people by becoming a French citizen herself in 1937.
In France, she did not feel the same level of racial prejudice that was present in the United States at the time. Toward the end of her life, Josephine Baker hoped to create a "world village" on her estate in France, but these plans collapsed due to financial difficulties. To raise funds, she returned to the stage. Her return was short, but it was a triumph on Broadway in the 1970s, and in 1975 she opened a retrospective show in Paris. She died the same year of a cerebral hemorrhage, a week after the show opened.
7 Gene Kelly
Gene Kelly was one of the most big stars and the greatest innovators during Hollywood's golden age of musicals. Kelly considered his own style, somewhat of a hybrid of different approaches to dance, he took his movements from modern dance, ballet, and tap.
Kelly brought dance to the theatre, using every inch of his set, every surface, and every wide camera angle to break out of the film's two-dimensional limitations. And in doing so, he changed the way filmmakers look at their cameras. Thanks to Kelly, the camera became a living instrument, and even the dancer she filmed.
Kelly's legacy pervades the music video industry. Photographer Mike Salisbury photographed Michael Jackson for the cover of Off The Wall wearing "white socks and light leather shoes like Gene Kelly moccasins" - which have become the movie star's trademark. It was this image that became his own after some time. recognizable brands singer.
Paula Abdul, originally known for her dancing and choreography, made a reference to famous dance Kelly with Jerry the Mouse in his vulgar video for "Opposites Attract", which ends with a tap dance. Usher was another top-selling artist who paid tribute to Kelly's legacy. There will never be another dancer like Kelly, and his influence continues to resonate through generations of American dancers.
6. Sylvie Guillem
At forty-eight, Sylvie Guillem continues to defy the laws of ballet and gravity. Guillem has changed the face of ballet with her supernatural talents, which she has always used with intelligence, integrity and sensitivity. Her natural curiosity and courage directed her on the most daring paths, beyond the usual framework of classical ballet.
Instead of spending her entire career on "safe" performances, she made bold decisions, equally capable of playing the role of "Raymonda" (Raymonda) at the Paris Opera, or being part of an innovative dance performance based on the work of Forsythe (Forsythe) " In The Middle Somewhat Elevated". Almost no other dancer has such a scope, so it is not surprising that she has become the benchmark for most dancers around the world. Like Maria Callas in the opera world, Guillem was able to change the popular image of the ballerina.
5. Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson was exactly the man who could make music videos trend and he is, without a doubt, the one who made dancing an important element modern pop music. Jackson's moves have already become standard vocabulary in pop and hip-hop dance. Most modern pop icons like Justin Bieber, Usher, Justin Timberlake admit that Michael Jackson's style had a strong influence on them.
His contribution to the art of dance was original and unusual. Jackson was an innovator who was primarily self-taught, designing new dance moves without the often-occurring formal learning effects that limit the flight of the imagination. His natural grace, flexibility and amazing rhythm contributed to the creation of the "Jackson style". His employees called him "the sponge". This nickname was given to him for his ability to absorb ideas and techniques wherever he found them.
Jackson's main inspirations are James Brown, Marcel Marceau, Gene Kelly, and perhaps this will surprise many people - various classical ballet dancers. What many of his fans don't know is that he originally tried to "pirouette like Baryshnikov" and "tap-dance like Fred Astaire" but failed miserably. However, his dedication to his own unique style earned him the fame he sought, and today his name stands alongside other giants. popular music such as Elvis and the Beatles, and is considered one of the greatest pop icons of all time.
4. Joaquin Cortes
Joaquin Cortez is the youngest dancer on this list, but despite still being in the process of building his legacy, he is one of the few dancers in history to become phenomenal sex symbols loved by women and women alike. and men. Elle Macpherson described it as "walking sex"; Madonna and Jennifer Lopez have publicly adored him, while Naomi Campbell and Mira Sorvino are among the women whose hearts he is rumored to have broken.
It's safe to say that Cortes is not only one of the greatest flamenco dancers of all time, but also the one who cemented flamenco's place in popular culture. His male admirers include Tarantino, Armani, Bertolucci, Al Pacino, Antonio Banderas, and Sting. Many of his fans call him the God of Flamenco or simply the God of Sex, and if you get the chance to watch one of his shows, you'll understand why. However, at the age of forty-four, Cortes remains a bachelor, stating that "dance is my wife, my only woman."
3. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
Astaire and Rogers were, of course, an inimitable pair of dancers. They say that "he gave her charm, and she gave him sex appeal". They made dancing much more appealing to the masses in a rather prim time. This was partly due to the fact that Rogers used her acting skills in dancing, and gave the impression that dancing with Astaire was the most happy moments her life.
The era also contributed to the rise of their popularity, during the Great Depression, many Americans tried to make ends meet - and these two dancers gave people a chance to forget about the depressing reality for a while and have fun.

Mikhail Baryshnikov is one of the greatest artists ballet of all time, many critics consider it the greatest. Born in Latvia, Baryshnikov studied ballet at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg (then known as Leningrad) before joining the Mariinsky Theater in 1967. Since then, he has performed leading roles in dozens of ballets. He played a key role in bringing ballet into popular culture as early as the late 1970s and early 80s, and has also been the face of art for over two decades. Baryshnikov is perhaps the most influential dancer of our time.
1. Rudolf Nureyev
Baryshnikov won the hearts of critics and fellow dancers, and Rudolf Nureyev was able to charm millions ordinary people Worldwide. Russian-born dancer becomes soloist Mariinsky Theater at the age of 20.

In the 1970s, he broke into the film industry. Most critics argue that technically he was not as good as Baryshnikov, but Nureyev still managed to captivate the crowds with his amazing charisma and emotional performances. The Nureyev and Fonteyn ballet Romeo and Juliet remains to this day one of the most powerful and emotional duet performances in the history of ballet.
Unfortunately, Nureyev was one of the first victims of HIV infection, and died of AIDS in 1993. Twenty years later, we can still see the incredible legacy he left behind.
