NADIA DOUMIAFEYVA was discovered adrift in a basket on the river Neva by kindly peasants. Her debut as the Maryinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg, was marred by her overzealous grand jete into the Tsar’s box, impaling a Grand Duchess. Banished from Russia, she made her way arduously to New York, where she founded, and still directs the Ecole de Ballet de Hard-Nox. Her most famous exercise is the warm-up consisting of a martini and an elevator.

THE LEGUPSKI BROTHERS. Araf, Dimitri and Ivan are not really brothers, nor are their names Araf, Dimitri, or Ivan nor are they real Russians, nor can they tell the difference between a pirouette and a jete...but...well...they do move about rather nicely ...and...they fit into the costumes.
