Bolshoi Ballet is a classic representation of heritage and contemporary works by the best choreographers in the world. Since 1825 with the completion of Bolshoi Theatre, Bolshoi Ballet and Opera has been entertaining millions of people across the globe. Its parent company The Bolshoi Ballet Academy is considered as a world leading institution for Ballet today.

Digging down deep into the roots of Bolshoi Ballet reveals that it started off as a mere dancing school of Moscow Orphanage. In 1773, the school enrolled a number of students for the dancing classes and taught them the traditional ways of dancing. The students started to enjoy these lessons and the dancing school got popular. They found it to be a way of expressing their feelings loud. The Bolshoi Theatre was opened in the in the mid 1800s. It initially competed with the famous theaters of St. Petersburg and Maryinsky Theatre.

Dancing was revitalized by bringing a change in the 20^th century. The choreographers brought in their unique ideas which introduced dramatic realism to the classical styles of dancing. Igor Moiseyey is the first artist who took the step of experimenting with folk dance ballets in the thirties. The arrival of 19^th century demanded to bring in modifications and this addition of the new style of dancing was a good initiative. The performers loved it and were enthusiastic to get acquainted with folk. It wasn't just the introduction of folk dance but also made the people come across some of the best collections of folk music from artists across the globe. Encouraged by a welcoming response, Bolshoi continued with the practice of switching the charge of choreographers and directors to keep Bolshoi Ballet alive. Moiseyev was followed by Maya Plitsetskaya who happened to be the company's prima ballerina. He after successfully completing his tenure gave charge to Yuri Grigorovich. His outstanding work promoted him to the position of chief choreographer and then artistic director. Khachaturian's Spartacus is one of his famous productions. The artist continued to serve at this position till 1995. Aleksei Fadeyechev proceeded with the directorship in year 1998 which was shortly taken up by Boris Akimov.

The company today enjoys the status of being internationally acclaimed with extremely talented members. It has toured with world famous classics Swan Lake and Giselle, amassing appreciation from critics, other dance companies and millions of fans.  Its shows have also been themed on serious topics such as the uprising of the ancient Rome of the slaves and gladiators.
