Weightless jumps. Do you know who he is?

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Alexander Petrowski😉

Any woman who was a teenager in the 80s knows who this is.

He hangs from my living room wall.

Oh yes.

Did you all see him in themovie The White Nights with isabella Rossellini and Gregory Hines. Excellent movie

@vessymink Barishnikov

I saw him dance...when he was in charge of the ABT. His principle dancer was ill...so danced the part. We were there on a great night. Sparce audience so we moved down front. He came out after...so nice....it was a magical evening.

Mikhail Baryshnikov. This will never get old.

Baryshnikov was a household name in the 1970s and frequently on TV. With all the networks we have today, you'd think we'd have more access to ballet on TV instead of less.

Mikhail Baryshnikov is now 77. Born Jan. 27 in the Soviet Union, defected in Canada in 1974. Has been a choreographer & actor. Is still working. Had 4 children. Married. Condemned invasion of Ukraine & has Foundation to support their victims.

Baryshnikov.

I loved him in White Nights

Of course, I do!

Baryshnikov

It has to be Baryshnikov. He’s the only one who smiles when he’s spotting turns. And you’re right, those effortless jumps were unforgettable!

The King of Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov.

He's Mikhail Perfection Barishnikov

Of course. The greatest male ballet dancer of my lifetime.

@LindaTraitz Mikhail Baryshnikov, I was “in love” with him in my youth! 😂

Barishnikov IS Ballet. 😍😍😍

That’s Carrie’s man on Sex and the City. LOL

I was a member of the orchestra for the National Ballet of Canada when he defected. He danced with the company for a season before going to New York. Brilliant dancer and mentor to the rest of the company.

Last of the great non-gay male dancers of the 20th century.

Mikhail was pretty hot stuff in the 80’s.

Try watching White Nights with him and Gregory Hines. Ok movie but excellent dancing!

Baryshnikov. The greatest dancer I’ve ever seen live

That clip is from The Turning Point (1977) - GREAT ballet movie if you haven't seen it.

You don’t recognize Misha. You don’t know ballet.

Alexander Petrovsky! lol

My hero as a little girl

It’s Mikael Baryshnikov 🥰 A talented young dancer who defected to the US. It was Russia’s loss and America’s great gain.

@NeeverH Is it Mikhail Baryshnikov? (I had to talk text that one- no way I was attempting to spell it) Remember when he did a movie with Gregory Hines?
