Early life
Alexandra Balashova was born in Moscow. She was educated at the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet School.
Career
Balashova was a principal dancer at the Bolshoi Theatre starting in 1905. She often danced with Mikhail Mordkin,[1] and was known for such roles as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty and Odette/Odille in Swan Lake. She performed in London in 1911, replacing Yekaterina Geltzer;[2] for publicity, London bootmakers were challenged to fit "her marvelous instep" from their stock.[3] She left Russia in 1921 and danced for about ten more years in Western Europe, then taught, while living in France.[4] Among her students was dance notation expert Jacqueline Challet-Haas.[5] In 1946 Balashova was credited as choreographer on a production of La fille mal gardée in London.[6]
Russian artist Filipp Malyavin painted her portrait in 1924, when they were both living in Paris.[7]
