• Maja Pliszkaja is one of the most legendary ballet dancers of all time. Among her most outstanding performances was a free dance in modern style to the Boléro
• Maurice Béjart choreographed a masterpiece of dance with the Boléro. Created in 1960, the dance features a dancer on a table, first dancing in tune with the simple melody, surrounded by seated men who gradually begin to participate in the dance. The complex structure of the staging culminates in an increasing union of dancers on the table.
