Before long, Nureyev became one of the Soviet Union's best-known dancers.

Though Nureyev's rebellious character and non-conformist attitude made him an unlikely candidate for the tour with the Kirov Ballet, it became more essential he join the tour which the Soviet government considered crucial to its ambitions to demonstrate its "cultural supremacy" over the West. Furthermore, tensions were growing between Nureyev and the Kirov's artistic director Konstantin Sergeyev, who was also the husband of Nureyev's former dance partner Natalia Dudinskaya.<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a> After a representative of the French tour organisers saw Nureyev dance in Leningrad in 1960, the French organisers urged Soviet authorities to let him dance in Paris, and he was allowed to go.<a href="#cite_note-bbc-19">[18]</a> In Paris, his performances electrified audiences and critics. Oliver Merlin in <a href="/wiki/Le_Monde" title="Le Monde">Le Monde</a> wrote, <blockquote>I will never forget his arrival running across the back of the stage, and his catlike way of holding himself opposite the ramp. He wore a white sash over an <a href="/wiki/Ultramarine" title="Ultramarine">ultramarine</a> costume, had large wild eyes and hollow cheeks under a turban topped with a spray of feathers, bulging thighs, immaculate tights. This was already Nijinsky in Firebird.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a></blockquote> Nureyev was seen to have broken the rules about mingling with foreigners and reportedly frequented <a href="/wiki/Gay_bar" title="Gay bar">gay bars</a> in Paris, which alarmed the Kirov's management<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> and the <a href="/wiki/KGB" title="KGB">KGB</a> agents observing him. The KGB wanted to send him back to the Soviet Union. On 16 June 1961 when the Kirov company gathered at <a href="/wiki/Le_Bourget_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Le Bourget Airport">Le Bourget Airport</a> in Paris to fly to London, Sergeyev took Nureyev aside and told him that he must return to Moscow for a special performance in the <a href="/wiki/Kremlin" title="Kremlin">Kremlin</a>, rather than go on to London with the rest of the company. Nureyev became suspicious and refused. Next he was told that his mother had fallen severely ill and he needed to go home immediately to see her.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> Nureyev refused again, believing that on return to the USSR he was likely to be imprisoned. With the help of French police and a Parisian socialite friend, Clara Saint, who had been engaged to Vincent Malraux, the son of the French Minister of Culture, <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Malraux" title="André Malraux">André Malraux</a>,<a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> Nureyev escaped his KGB minders and asked for asylum.

If the standard of male dancing rose so visibly in the West after the 1960s, it was largely because of Nureyev's inspiration.<a href="#cite_note-articlebyanderson1993-3">[2]</a> Nureyev's influence on the world of ballet changed the perception of male dancers; in his own productions of the classics the male roles received much more choreography.<a href="#cite_note-Ezard-2003-63">[62]</a> Another important influence was his crossing the borders between classical ballet and modern dance by performing both.<a href="#cite_note-64">[63]</a> Today it is normal for dancers to receive training in both styles, but Nureyev was the originator and excelled in modern and classical dance. He went out of his way to work with modern dance great, <a href="/wiki/Martha_Graham" title="Martha Graham">Martha Graham</a>, and she created a work specially for him.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-65">[64]</a> While <a href="/wiki/Gene_Kelly" title="Gene Kelly">Gene Kelly</a> had done much to combine modern and classical styles in film, he came from a more Modern Dance influenced "popular dance" environment, while Nureyev made great strides in gaining acceptance of Modern Dance in the "Classical Ballet" sphere.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-65">[64]</a> Nureyev's charisma, commitment and generosity were such that he did not just pass on his knowledge.<a href="#cite_note-interviewcharlesjude-66">[65]</a> He personified the school of life for a dancer. Several dancers, who were principals with the Paris Opera Ballet under his direction, went on to become ballet directors themselves inspired to continue Nureyev's work and ideas.

Nureyev was a contemporary of <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Vasiliev_(dancer)" title="Vladimir Vasiliev (dancer)">Vladimir Vasiliev</a>, who was the premiere dancer at the Bolshoi. Later, Nureyev was a predecessor to <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Baryshnikov" title="Mikhail Baryshnikov">Mikhail Baryshnikov</a> at the Kirov Ballet, now the Mariinsky Theater. Unlike Vasiliev and Baryshnikov, Nureyev did not build his reputation on success in international ballet competitions, but rather through his performances and popular image.
