Rudolf Nureyev (1938-1993) was the Soviet ballet dancer and choreographer who revolutionized the male role in dance. His activity was innovative because it increased the importance of male roles in ballet dance, which, with his productions, were developed with more consideration for choreography than previous productions.
He collaborated with some of the major choreographers of the time and is considered by many the greatest male dancer of all time.
