Breaking: Bolshoi dancers defect (update)
mainIn the good old days, they would skip the coop while on tour – often in Paris or London.

Apparently, good order at the Mikhailovsky is preferable to Bolshoi chaos.
Here’s the Pravda version. No defection is official til you’ve read it Pravda.
UPDATE: And here they explain why. Much better range of rep in St Pete, apparently.
