Inspired by the life of Rudolf Nureyev, the ballet dancer who defected from the Soviet Union and became a global star, “Dancing star” is the second single taken from Pet Shop Boys’ fifteenth studio album, “Nonetheless”.

“Dancing star” includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks, a remix and extended remix of the title track by Solomun and a Superchumbo (Tom Stephan) remix of “Party in the Blitz” featuring Clubland legend Princess Julia.
