	Jennifer Homans, The New Repbublic, on Maya Plisetskaya
		There were family reasons for this choice: Messerer was her uncle, and had taken in her brother when her parents were arrested.
		But it was his muscular, vigorous approach to classical technique that made Plisetskaya a loyal follower, and she studied with him daily for most of her career.
		Messerer's own career had started before the revolution, when he worked with Gorsky, Mordkin, and other Russian modernist choreographers.
