Polunin performed in Prague in 2019, due to the huge interest of popular dancers, and the star of social networks performed five times in a row.

“A man who feels, not rational – that was one of Nizhny’s mottoes. He was not afraid to break the rules to move art further. He was absolutely devoted, “says Sergei Polunin about the famous dancer. “And as everyone knows, I have a similar philosophy. It’s not the mental abilities of man that are beyond our knowledge, and shifting my own thinking is something I’m totally committed to, “says the man nicknamed James Dean of Ballet.

Polunin was born in 1989 in Ukraine. From four to eight years he trained ballet at the local academy, the next four years he attended the State Choreographic Institute in Kiev. From the age of 13 he lived in Great Britain and at the age of 19 he became the youngest soloist of the Royal Ballet in London, at the age of 23 he was the artistic director of the ensemble.
