"It is clear that although Nureyev's dancing would not have been forgotten, he nevertheless wanted to leave behind a legacy."

Mission

In tribute to Rudolf Nureyev, whose love of the new in dance sprang from a profound faith in ballet's traditional past, the Rudolf Nureyev® Dance Foundation seeks to preserve and protect the history and tradition of dance while simultaneously encouraging its progress and development.
Specifically, the Foundation aims to perpetuate Rudolf Nureyev's name, and to advance his vision and contribution to dance through its study, performance and appreciation.  
Financially, through grants to benefit dance, the Foundation aims to carry on the legacy that Rudolf Nureyev has left behind - his extraordinary dedication to the art of dance.
