The women inside the Webster Groves, Mo., studio looked as though they were channeling Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Baryshnikov and any of a dozen Hollywood starlets who have long lean torsos (think Gwyneth Paltrow). They stood, feet apart, abdomens sucked in, punching the air with their right fists.

ABT opened a three-night run Tuesday on the new stage of the Bolshoi Theatre, whose company was touring Canada when Baryshnikov defected from the Soviet Union in 1974.

• Un Bailarín Con Espíritu Libre

[Julio Bocca] siempre ha sido un espíritu libre y disciplinado a la vez. Libre como para recorrer solo la distancia entre la ciudad suburbana de Munro y la gran metrópolis, Buenos Aires, para asistir a la escuela del Teatro Colón, llevado por su pasión por la danza, a los 9 años de edad. Disciplinado como para cursar la carrera completa, con las mejores calificaciones, mientras todos comentaban "es un monstruo". Libre como para atreverse a cruzar las grandes aguas hacia Moscú, y ganar una medalla de oro a los 16 años. Y como para aceptar el reto de mudarse a Caracas a esa misma edad para bailar en el Teatro Teresa Carreño, solita su alma. Y como para instalarse en Nueva York a los 19 por un llamado del entonces director artístico del ABT, Mikhail Baryshnikov, quien lo convocó como ...

El artista contó que, después de retirarse, estará "en un cien por ciento" dedicado a "una escuela de arte", que estará situada en la capital argentina, pero que será para estudiantes "de toda Latinoamérica".
