Ballets Russes

Filmmakers Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller have fashioned a lovely valentine to the 20th-century dance troupe, the Ballets Russes. Splendid archival footage and interviews with many of the company’s stars illustrate the fascinating story of a group of Russian refugees who became not one but two rival dance troupes who revolutionized the art of ballet.
