Chapter 11. Chemistry: Interdependence
Two of the most powerful personalities in the dance world came together in the duo of Margot Fontaine and Rudolf Nureyev.

Each entirely depended on the other for their success and in doing so strengthened their impact beyond anything they could have achieved individually.
