Russian-born ballet dancer who performed with the Ballets Russes and Anna Pavlova and later founded the Mordkin School of Dance in New York.
Mikhail Mikhailovich Mordkin, Russian dancer and teacher, was born in Moscow on December 9, 1880 into the family of the violinist of the Imperial Theatres. At the age of nine he entered Moscow Imperial Ballet School. Upon graduation in 1900, he was accepted to the company as a soloist. Soon after, he was promoted to premier danseur, the highest rank in the company, and was featured in practically every leading role of the company's repertory, especially character parts. At the same time, in his early twenties, he began his teaching career at the Ballet School in Moscow, and the first Russian private schools of dance and “plastic movement.”
Even from his school days Mordkin established himself as an artist of an unusual expressiveness and passion. However, his technique was frequently criticized as not purely classical and even shaky. But the classical technique itself was not Mordkin's concern. His ambition was to render deep emotions that went far beyond the limitations of ballet traditions of the time, and to make his technique serve the purposes of portraying the character. In his performances he challenged dramatic standards of male dancing by enhancing his characters with deep feelings, rather than gallant manners, and with detailed characterization, rather than beautiful posing and partnering.
Mikhail Mordkin was among the first Russian dancers to perform outside Russia. At the invitation of Kaiser Wilhelm he organized a short season in Berlin in the summer of 1908 (?), even before Diagilev's company opened its first season in Paris.
On the opening night of Ballets Russes in Paris in 1909, Mordkin danced the leading role in Michael Fokine's Le Pavillon d'Armide, and that same year he appeared as Anna Pavlova's partner in London and the United States. His personal success was equal to Pavlova's and their partnership was one of the most significant of the century.
During the next several years Mordkin organized two major tours to the United States with the All-Star Russian Imperial Ballet company; retired from and came back to the Imperial Theatres; staged a number of concert dances and small [UNK]; opened his own private ballet school in Moscow; and continued performing regularly.
After the outbreak of the October Revolution Mordkin pursued many of the same activities. He danced at the Bolshoi Theatre, organized tours all over Russia, taught, and staged ballets and concert dances. However, the growing chaos and famine of the 1920s made him look for ways of escaping Russia. In the fall of 1924, he finally obtained permission to leave for a tour to the United States. He never returned to Russia.
In 1927, Mikhail Mordkin opened the Mordkin School of Dance in the Carnegie Hall building in New York City, offering “complete ballet training, mimo-drama classes, [and a] rehearsal group [that would] prepare ballets for performances.” This group, the Mikhail Mordkin Ballet, was an outlet for advanced students (with Mikhail Mordkin himself dancing main character parts). On December 19, 1936, the company presented Sleeping Beauty, sponsored by the Woman's Club of Waterbury, Connecticut, with Lucia Chase and Dimitri Romanoff in the leading roles.
Plans for the student company became more ambitious. Advance Productions, with Lucia Chase as the major stockholder, was incorporated in March 1937, to sponsor the company. The Mordkin Ballet began to tour nationwide with a small repertory of ballets choreographed by Mordkin. In 1938, the company was reorganized under Advanced Arts, Inc., with Rudolf Orthwine as president. Richard Pleasant managed the school and was later made secretary of the organization. A more professional Mordkin Ballet emerged, hiring such noted dancers as Patricia Bowman, Nina Stroganova, Karen Conrad, Edward Caton, and Vladimir Dokoudovsky. The company continued to tour with Mordkin's ballets, however, many new ideas were developing. Chase and Pleasant began to plan a larger company, with more choreographers and dancers, and different artistic goals. In September of 1939, the nucleus of the Mordkin Ballet was reorganized into Ballet Theatre. Mikhail Mordkin was informed that he was no longer needed to teach or choreograph for the company, and only one of his ballets was ever produced by Ballet Theatre.
Mordkin returned to teaching at his Carnegie Hall studio.
Once his popularity as a dancer was enormous, he was one of the first male ballet stars of Russia, but it is as a teacher that he is best remembered in the United States. He possessed a “vivid personality” with the ability to “transmit something of the true spirit of the dance,” and he tried to bring out special qualities in each of his students.
Mordkin died in New York City on July 15, 1944.
Mikhail Mordkin's wife, Bronislava Avgustovna Mordkin (nee Pozhitskaia), was born in Warsaw, Poland, part of Imperial Russia at that time, some time between March 23 and April 4, 1881. She studied ballet at Moscow Imperial Ballet School, and upon graduation in 1900 was accepted as a member of the Imperial Ballet company. In 1912, she married Mikhail Mordkin. She performed as a soloist in his tour companies in London and US. Together with her husband, she came to New York in 1924. She Worked as a teacher of mime and character dancing in Mordkin School of Dance, and after Mordkin's death in 1944 continued teaching up to the late 1960s, including at the Ballet Department of Riverside Museum in New York City.
She also outlived her son, Michael Mordkin, Jr., born in 1914 and died on March 3, 1978.
Bronislava Pozhitskaia died in New York on July 27, 1979, at the age of 98.

The Leon Danielian Papers document the career of the American ballet dancer and teacher through an extensive set of photographs, as well as a more limited selection of correspondence, clippings, financial records, and teaching materials. Danielian, a native New Yorker of Armenian ancestry, enjoyed an especially varied career as a performer, but is best known for his long association with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Following his retirement from the stage, Danielian taught ballet for nearly thirty years at the American Ballet Theatre School and the University of Texas at Austin.

American Ballet Theatre records 1936-ca. 1967
American Ballet Theatre was founded in 1939 with the intention of creating an American company of international stature, a museum of the dance, “which would preserve the best of the classic tradition of Europe and at the same time lay the foundation for a new tradition, American in concept and spirit.” Its guiding principle was to encourage collaboration between artists with no single choreographer taking precedence. The records of the company attest to the pursuit of these goals.

Title:
American Ballet Theatre records 1936-ca. 1967
American Ballet Theatre was founded in 1939 with the intention of creating an American company of international stature, a museum of the dance, “which would preserve the best of the classic tradition of Europe and at the same time lay the foundation for a new tradition, American in concept and spirit.” Its guiding principle was to encourage collaboration between artists with no single choreographer taking precedence. The records of the company attest to the pursuit of these goals.
