Public domain photograph of post-war reconstruction of Europe, work of US government

Russia is home of the worlds two most famous ballet companies—the Bolshoi and the Kirov (Maryinsky) —and the source of ballet’s greatest dancers: Nijinsky, Pavlov, Nureyev and Baryshnikov. Russians are big ballet fans. Sometimes they applaud cameo performers before they step on stage. Russian ballet, some critics say, has achieved greatness by blending classicism and Russian folk dance. Vakil Usmanof, former choreographer for the Moscow Ballet School, told the Economist, "The Russian tradition is unique, with its own internal conception closely related to the Russian soul. It is not modern, not jazz but exclusively classical.”
