*967 - bolero

Sylvie Guillem performing Bolero with the Tokyo Ballet.

Though rather cliched because of her prominence, she is one of my favourite dancers to date. Maybe even my favourite. I can't even begin to explain why. Beyond her infamously acrobatic body and impeccable technique, I love her quirkiness, her diva-esque snobbery (somewhat), her strong-headed rebelliousness. You can see it when she dances.
