I decided to do my research paper on the Russian ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev. I am obviously interested in ballet, but I chose him in particular because he was involved in trying to gain protection for himself from Russia during The Cold War. The height of his career was in the 1960's, and he is today thought of as one of the greatest male ballet dancers. I don't really know much about him yet. I'm hoping to learn how he got out of Russia, about his early training, and what he did after retiring as a dancer. I'll attach a video of him dancing, he's extremely powerful and can turn like a top:

I love this idea; Rudolph Nureyev is amazing! How are you planning to focus in on your general topic? Do you plan on talking about what he went through leaving Russia or more about his expression through dance? I can't wait to read your paper, good luck!
