- rehearsing adagio from "Swan Lake", 1982, and performing variations and coda from "Le Corsaire", 1979. One memorable ballet partnership.
The second segment was taped at Goldwin Studios in LA on 25 Oct., 1979, just two months after his spectacular defection, and aired on the 3rd of March, 1980. That was Godunov's American TV debut and actually his American dance debut.
Look what Cynthia said about her first encounters with Godunov

Oh, this was a clip from "Godunov: The World To Dance In." Damn it, I'm so relieved for the likes of the internet. This way, Godunov gets some of the remembrance he did back in his salad days. Gone, but not totally forgotten...
God, these two are hypnotic here... Pure magic. Absolute angel dust... The stuff immortalized pas de deux partnerships are simply made of. One of the best ever to come out of Russia... along with America's "Prima Ballerina Absolutta"...
Which ballerina did Godunov do his absolute greatest with? Gregory? Makarova? Plisetskaya? Jackie Bisset?
You personally be the judge...
Alexander was never given the rock star status he deserved.
I just love everything about his dancing, his appearance and his alliesre. God bless him forever!
I them at ABT do this. Fabulous. Gregory was dazzling and Sasha was elegance and grandeur personified.
Poor Sasha, never found his niche here and died too soon.
He was always a wanderer, never to settle down actually. That was his nature and maybe that was his destiny. Still I don't agree about niche. Actually he found two - ballet and conema. He was great in both and he was happy to do what he loved to. That's a great luck and happiness.
Not every person can boast he (she) does what he (she) likes, so many people just hate their jobs but can't do anything to change that. He had a luxury to do what he wanted to and not to do what he didn't want to.
Sorry!What are you all talking about?Of course Godunov deserved the best female partners like Plisetskaya,Bessmertnova...But sometimes he had them -Evdokimova,Makarova.If you're a star yourself you need dance with STARS!!
He always, thousand times, said quite the opposite - that he feels good, never regreted what he did and if once again he'd do THE SAME.
He said that in his interviews and in this movie.
Don't think you know better that himself what he felt.
Sorry, I do not why I tough you were he...anyway thanks for all the great videos on your channel.
Cynthia Gregory was one of those ballerinas that was just a little... bigger. Like Maria Tallchief and Marine Van Hammel, she wasn't so "petite." She was a big girl. And that kinda worked. Something about breaking the definition of the "little pixies" of ballet. She almost stood eye-to-eye with this hulk Adonis. The two are both towering, both passionate. And I think Cynthia moved like a danseur herself. Something kinda "liberal" about all that, isn't there?

... and the latter maybe even more important that the former.
Cynthia Harvey, or Cynthia Gregory?
That's right, maybe. Sizova is petit, Gregory is a tall stylish gal> they are too different to compare.
The people here actually discuss who's the best Medora.
If there is ANY PROHIBITION AGAINST ALCOHOL it should be in the tremendous waste of the death of this superb artist. What a waste, waste waste waste waste.
