Bestris - Bestris (English spelling) Gaetano Vestris

Italian dancer. Born in Florence. Studied under L. Dupré, he joined the Paris Opera as a soloist. With his excellent technique, he was called the "god of dance." It is said that he was the first to dance without wearing a mask, which had been a traditional custom, in Medea and Giasson, choreographed by J. G. Nobert. His son, Auguste Vestris (1760-1842), also worked for many years as the first dancer at the Paris Opera, and showed great talent in pirouettes (turns) and leaps. His sister Teresa, brother Angiolo, and grandson Armand were also dancers, and the Vestris family was famous as a family of dancers.
