there isn't really a person who "started" ballet. ballet originated in Italy, moving with catherine de medici to France when she married king Henry II. she introduced her tradition of Ballo, or dance. in the 1700's, king Louis of France became fascinated with ballet. not only did he create the first ballet academy, he also danced in every production of all the dances. that is, until he became too fat. :( :P from there, France slowly began to lose interest, and that's where russia comes in. Russian george balachine brought ballet to America. tada! a brief history of ballet. :)
The original ballet "Cinderella" was choreographed by Frederick Ashton. It premiered in 1948 at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, with music composed by Sergei Prokofiev. Ashton's interpretation combined classical ballet with a narrative style that brought the fairy tale to life, making it a beloved classic in the ballet repertoire.
Balachine brought ballet to America in 1933.
