Alla Sizova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alla Sizova (born September 22, 1939) is a twentieth-century ballet dancer, best known for her work with the Kirov Ballet. She was the preferred dance partner of Rudolph Nureyev before his defection, and Nureyev is rumoured to have said in his later years that Sizova was the only thing that could conceivably entice him back to the Soviet Union. Amongst other roles, Sizova received great acclaim as Princess Aurora in the 1964 Kirov production Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty opposite Yuri Solovyov.
