Famous for his “once every hundred years“ talent, he has incredulous elevation and impeccable technique. From an early age, he displayed glorious dramatic range. Home videos of him as a small boy improvising to Pavarotti are very foretelling. At age 19, he became the youngest ever male principal dancer with London's Royal Ballet company. Ballet gained an unprecedented new awareness when he danced in Hozier's viral video “Take Me To Church.“ People who would never have paid any attention to ballet began to watch the tattooed phenom. He is attributed with helping bring ballet to the modern common man. Sergei is a much sought after model and actor. Fashion designers love his breathtaking physique and brooding good looks. He has garnered positive reviews for his acting. His appearances include Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of the Orient Express, the biographical documentary Dancer, The White Crow, and Red Sparrow.
