Last week a prominent Russian choreographer Boris Eifman celebrated his 67th birthday. Despite the considerable age, he is still working in full force. In 1977 Eifman was appointed director of the Leningrad Ballet Ensemble (also known as Eifman Ballet of St.Petersburg) at the age of 30 and he remained there for over 30 years.
