A Ballet originated in the royal courts of Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, and later spread throughout Europe. It was brought to Russia by Peter the Great in the late 1600s. In Russia, ballet was not just entertainment in the courts; it became popular with the general public. By the early 1900s, ballet had taken on its own character in Russia and began to influence the rest of Europe.

B World War 1 and the 1917 revolution looked like the end of classical ballet in Russia. Some of the ballet’s most famous stars left Russia to continue their careers abroad. But ballet did not die out and eventually the artists returned and the Soviet government sponsored new ballet companies.

C Russia is home to some old and renowned ballet companies. The Mariinsky Ballet is the oldest, established in St Petersburg in 1740. The Bolshoi Ballet was founded in 1776 in Moscow but did not fully develop its identity until the 1900s. Today, the Bolshoi has a bold and colourful style, while the Mariinsky is more classical. Both ballet companies are among the top in the world.

D The Russian ballet is immediately recognisable. It is athletic, featuring more dynamic leaps and turns than Italian ballet, which focuses more on quick movements of the feet. It has also been influenced by Russian folk dances, and folklore. Character dance, which uses techniques from the theatre, is also an important part of Russian ballet.

E An influential name in the history of ballet in Russia is Marius Petipa, a dancer, teacher and choreographer who worked as Ballet Master in the St Petersburg Imperial Theatre. The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker are two of his most famous creations, but he also brought older works back to life in a new way.

F Anna Pavlova was born in St. Petersburg in 1881. She was determined to become a ballet dancer, and after her studies, her talent and determination saw her rise to prima ballerina in just seven years. She was among the first Russian ballet dancers to tour the world. She also created her own ballet company, which gave her greater artistic freedom.

G The Vaganova method of teaching ballet is named after the Russian dancer, Agrippina Vaganova, who developed it in the early 20th century. She had the original idea that students should focus on strengthening the centre of their body in order for the whole body to move in a natural, graceful way. This was quite innovative for its time. Today the Vaganova method is taught in ballet schools throughout the world.
