Aleksandra Aleksandrovna (Alexandra) Fedorova-Fokine, 1884-1972, Michel Fokine's sister-in-law, graduated from the Maryinsky Ballet School in 1902, and was accepted into the Maryinsky Ballet company. From 1914 to 1917 she also performed as a prima-ballerina at the “Troitsky Miniuature Theatre” sponsored by her husband, Aleksandr Fokine, choreographer's elder brother.
In 1922 she was laid off from the Maryinsky Ballet and the family moved to Riga, Latvia, where she was appointed as a ballet teacher and choreographer at the National Riga Opera.
In 1936 [1937-?] after her husband's death and after she was fired by the pro-nazi Latvian government, the family moved to the United States where she opened a ballet school.
Alexandra Fedorova-Fokine died in a nursing home in New Jersey in 1972.
