Talented dancers have never been in short supply. During this post, we are going to concentrate on a selection of dancers who have become the most well-known and who are stand-out acts in their fields. Dancers from different disciplines such as tap, ballroom and classical are amongst those who have had a huge impact on modern culture, the number would be too great to list, but here we concentrate on some of the most well-known.
Our first dancer is one of the dancers who almost defined the art in itself, Anna Pavolva. The mere mention of her name leads you to think of ballet dancing and/or a meringue-based dessert. She was born in Russia and, at a time when ballerinas were thought to be best being tall and of strong stature, she was responsible for changing these ideas and breaking the mould. She was to go on to achieve worldwide fame as a result of her dancing.
Of course, she was not alone in being a so-called pioneer or stand-out artist in the field of ballet, there have been many others such as the late, great Rudolf Nureyev. However, looking further afield at more modern dance, another of the greats, Michael Jackson, is as much recognised for his dancing as his singing and his moonwalk move is seen as one of the most iconic moves of the last 30 years and is still admired to this day.
Moving into more contemporary types of dancing, these are no more evident than in the stars past and present of stage and screen. Patrick Swayze (as well as other cast members) was a huge hit with his dancing in the cult classic Dirty Dancing. Fred Astaire's many roles alongside Ginger Rogers were other examples of great dancing and timeless performances. There are so many other acts that it would be impossible to mention them all.
Pioneers of new (or adapted versions of old) dances have also found fame in recent years, no more so than Michael Flatley, who is renowned for his creation of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance which have become worldwide phenomena. It is impossible to tell who the future stars will be and from which medium they will come. Possibilities are from popular music and popular talent show dance contestants.
