Simply put, the Moiseyev Dance Company is the most spectacular, theatrical, athletic folk-dancing troupe in the world. "No dancer can do that," audiences gasp as they watch a Moiseyev dancer perform a double-barrel turn in the air. That is akin to a figure skater doing a triple axel. And doing it, flawlessly, night after night.
But the bravura doesn't end on a single feat. For dazzling spins and turns, gravity-defying leaps, incredible acrobatics that cause one to disbelieve what they saw until it is repeated again and again are the foundation of the Moiseyev Dance Company's performances. "A treasure house of theatrical dancing," wrote Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times. Igor Moiseyev's genius for distilling the essence of folk material and theatricalizing it on a spectacular scale has awed audiences for decades.
And while at its core the Moiseyev Dance Company is a ballet company, it is a ballet company in disguise - a troupe of ballet-trained dancers whose subjects happens to be the dances of cultures from around the world.
