I am so glad you mentioned Sir Anthony Dowell, in my opinion he is the greatest male ballet dancer ever. Everything he danced was exquisite to watch, most people watch the ballerina and forget the male dancer. Although I like everything he has ever done, his performance as Carabosse for me stands out as one of his best. There are other males in other companies that have tried to take on the role of Carabosse, but they pale in comparison to Sir Anthony. He can still be seen now and again at the ROH passing on his knowledge, I just hope the younger dancers listen.
I saw Eva Evdokimova dance at Carnegie Hall with Nureyev in the 1980s. It was just one afternoon show. And I had gone to see her. Magic. One of my most treasured memories.
My first teacher studied with Olga Preobrajenska in Paris probably in the '20's or '30's. To this day, I feel an almost spiritual connection and obligation to pass on to my students the knowledge I received from her. I feel a deep connection to our shared history and the oral/physical transfer of ballet from one generation to the next.
My mom still loves Anthony Dowell. Thank you for mentioning him, because now I can appreciate him more. And Marakova! I watched her partner with Ivan Nagy on CZcams, and oh, what a pair... Would you ever do a video discussing why Nagy was such a beautiful partner?

That’s amazing! Your students are very lucky to have a teacher like you!
