In 2008, Russia's Bolshoi Ballet Company lost on of its most valuable members and artistic director due to the politics of its system. Alexei Ratmansky is now making a new life for himself. In an article published on December 14, 2010, Alexi is training young American dancers for his interpretation of the 'Nutcracker'. He understands that he can cannot reinvent such a poplar production but his hope is to give it some sharper edges and therefore appeal to a larger audience. An example of a fine man who was forced to leave everything because of a corrupt system.
