Ballet Photos

Ballet has gone through quite a metamorphosis from it's early beginnings to what we know today. We saw Nureyev blaze his own trial, Balanchine change the landscape and Sylvie break the mold of what could be done with ballet. Take a look at our photo compilation of the world's greatest ballet dancers and choreographers. Each of these dancers shaped the world of ballet as we know it today. Enjoy!
