There aren’t enough photos of the human form itself, male and female, but I thought these could do for now. The ballet form is the most expressive and what is presented here. I had published the photo of Rudolph Nureyev and some comments a while back. (That’s Rudy below). That was in December, 2017. Here’s what Rudy had to say about dance: “Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.” True that, about many things.
