Perhaps one of my greatest regrets in my life is that I never experienced the thrill of watching these wonderful dancers dancing together.
Fonteyn and Nureyev were extremely close as partners even though they were very different. The two had different backgrounds and personalities. They also had an almost 20-year difference in age. Despite their many differences, however, Fonteyn and Nureyev were close, loyal friends.
The couple remained close friends through Fonteyn's retirement and health struggles with cancer. Speaking for a documentary about Fonteyn, Nureyev said that they danced with "one body, one soul." He said that Fonteyn was "all he had, only her."
Here they are dancing the Pas de deux from Act 4 Swan Lake.
