Léonide Massine
Date of Birth: 01 Jan 1970
Country: Russia
Biography: A major creative force borne out of Serge Diaghilev's "Ballets Russes", was undisputably Europe's leading dancer and choreographer of the 1920's and 1930's. Massine choreographed over one hundred ballets, among them works that are landmarks in twentieth century dance. He created the world's first symphonic ballet, Les Présages, in 1933 using Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5. This caused a furore amongst musical purists, who objected to a serious symphonic work being used as the basis of a ballet.
