The Diaghilev Ballet Company
(Note: Also Spelled Diaghileff)
Diaghilev Ballet Co. evolved into Ballet Russe, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo
The Diaghilev Era: While the Company existed from 1908-1929, The Diaghilev Era extended through the 1990's, being passed on to new generations by Company Principals. These were most likely the "Roots of Ballet" that Maria Dare desired to have preserved.

1926 Season
1926 Season of Diaghilev Ballet: "For the part of Juliet in Romio et Julliette Diaghilev succeeded in once again engaging Karsanina. Apart from his particular affection for her, he had been eager for Lifar to have her as a partiner in this ballet. He was able thereby, as it were, to conjure up once again the Golden Age, when she had so often danced with Nijinsky. For despite his perpetual striving after fashion and modernity, Diaghilev had an immense respect for tradition, and greatly valued the older generation of dancers, insisting always that the young must appreciate their inheritance and learn from the past."
__Grigoriev, S.L. The Diaghilev Ballet, 1909-1929. Great Britian R&R Clark LTC,1953. p219
