Igor Moiseyev & His World of Dance (DVD)

A Russian-made profile of the ingenious choreographer Igor Moiseyev. This 1982 film shows Moiseyev working with his ensemble and speaking of his art. But the real focus is on the dancing, and the film includes performances of many of Moiseyev’s celebrated works. Bonus selections include a rare 1964 performance of the infectiously exuberant “Viva Cuba!” Documentary is in Russian with English subtitles.
