NADEZHDA BOGDOWNOVA has defected to America three times and been promptly returned on each occasion -- for "artistic reasons." Recently discovered "en omelette" at the Easter Egg Hunt in Washington, D.C., she was hired by the Trockadero, where her inexplicable rise to stardom answers the musical question: Who put the bop in the bop-shibop shibop?
BORIS NOWITSKY has been with the greatest ballerinas of our time and he has even danced with some of them. One of the first defective Russian male stars, he left the motherland for purely capitalistic reasons. Amazingly between his appearances on television and Broadway, in movies, commercials, magazines, and special events, and women’s nylons, he occasionally still has time to dance.
