Today I want to talk about Russian ballet

Russian ballet refers to ballet dancing that originated in Russia. Russian ballet is one of the most popular forms of classical ballet.

The first school of Russian ballet, the Imperial Theatre School, was founded by Empress Anna in 1738.

The first Russian ballet company, the Imperial School of Ballet, was developed in St. Petersburg in the 1740s. The Ballet Russian, directed by Sergei Diaghilev, played a major role in the establishment of Russian ballet.

Founded in 1909, Ballet Russian was one of the great ballet companies of the 20th century.

Today, audiences around the world have the opportunity to enjoy professional Russian ballet dancing close to home. The Bolshoi Ballet and the Mariinsky Ballet are renowned Russian ballet companies that tour the world.

I want to tell not only of Russian ballet but also about the legendary ballerina. Maya Plisetskaya is the standard of Russian ballet.

Plisetskaya studied ballet from age nine and first performed at the Bolshoi Theatre when she was eleven. She joined the Bolshoi Ballet company when she was eighteen, quickly rising to become their leading soloist. In 1958 Plisetskaya received the title of the People's Artist of the USSR. She created a number of leading roles, created compositions, played many parties.

In my opinion this is an amazing woman. I am amazed by the plasticity of the body, technique. She will always remain a legend!
