Igor Moiseyev Ballet on tour:
“Moiseyev delivers dance on a grand scale. The disciplined company of 65 are all impeccably trained ballet dancers.
Moiseyev is pure excitement. No legs move faster than a Moiseyev dancer, and the company can outdo an Argentine cowboy or a Moldovan villager at their own games.
The breathtaking positioning and precision timing of this troupe allows the dancers to create unbelievably complicated patterns in lines and circles while moving at great speed.”
