Biographical History
Ballet dancer and ballet and theater choreographer; the major ballet figure in the twentieth century.
George Balanchine (1904-1983) was a Russian-American dancer and choreographer. In 1921 he graduated from the Theatre School in Petrograd. He left Russia in 1924, and the same year he was engaged by Serge Diaghilev as a choreographer for his company Ballets Russes. After the death of Serge Diaghilev in 1929, Balanchine unsuccessfully tried to establish his own company in Europe. He came to the United States at the invitation of Lincoln Kirstein (1907-1996) in 1933. The following year they founded the School of American Ballet. Collaboration with Kirstein also resulted in the founding of the American Ballet Caravan (1941), the Ballet Society (1946), and the New York City Ballet (1948). From that time until his death, Balanchine served as artistic director of the New York City Ballet, choreographing the majority of its productions. In 1983, five months after Balanchine's death, the George Balanchine Foundation was incorporated, and in 1987 the George Balanchine Trust was established to facilitate the licensing of George Balanchine's works around the world.
George Balanchine was a Russian-American dancer, choreographer, and company director. With Lincoln Kirstein (1907-1996) he founded the School of American Ballet in 1934. Collaboration with Kirstein also resulted in the founding of the New York City Ballet (1948), of which Balanchine served as artistic director until his death in 1983.
George Balanchine (1904-1983) was a Russian-born American choreographer. Tanaquil Le Clercq (1929-2000) was a principal dancer at The New York City Ballet, and was married to Balanchine from 1952 to 1969.
