About — The artist
George Balanchine (born Giorgi Melitonis dze Balanchivadze; Georgian: გიორგი მელიტონის ძე ბალანხივაძე; Russian: Георгий Мелитонович Баланчивадзе) is a Russian choreographer, dancer, actor and director of Georgian origin, born in Saint Petersburg on 22 January 1904 and died in New York on 30 April 1983.
A knee injury quickly ended his career as a dancer, but his work as a choreographer never stopped growing, making him one of the most influential choreographers of the 20th century and a pioneer of ballet in the United States. Co-founder and ballet master of the New York City Ballet, he laid the foundations of neoclassical ballet, built on his deep knowledge of romantic ballet. His work on the lines of the body and his play with imbalance in movement helped shape a new style that came to be known as “Balanchinian”. Renowned for his musical ear, he never wrote a score but expressed music through dance, and worked mainly with Igor Stravinsky, 22 years his senior.
