AboutGREAT RUSSIAN BALLET
The dissemination of ballet in Russia and its deep rooted appeal to all Russians can be traced back to those nobles who, often living so far away from the capital, commanded their own entertainment, setting up ballet troupes often composed of serfs who had been trained at the Imperial School. The Russian ballet remained a mystery to the West, but as the European dancers returned from their Russian tours with stories of the beautiful theaters and the tremendous salaries, many of the great dancers and teachers began to flood the Russian market. By the late 19th century, ballet in Russia became stagnant and it was Frenchman, Marius Petipa (1818-1910), who decisively refashioned this failing art form, introducing the strict proportions between mime and dance, and establishing the ensembles of the corps de ballet and the precise rules for the order of dancing in a pas de deux. During the 1880s, Petipa restaged “Giselle” and as the chief ballet master, many more Russian born and trained ballerinas danced on the imperial stages at this time than did at the beginning of Russian ballet. Thanks to Petipa, Russian ballet dancers are known all the world over as being “la crème de la crème”.
