Ballet was not introduced to Russia, that's where ballet started
Ballet actually originated in Italy, but france was the first to name the steps. hope this helps
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 first ballet ever preformed was The Ballet Comique de la Reine. It was for the queen of France in 1581. the ballet lasted 5 hrs with 10,000 people in the audience.
Ballet was first introduced in the US in 1901 when The Ballet Russe, a Russian technique company started touring and perfroming in the states.

Ballet (basically) in Italy, but started to evolve into the ballet we know today in the courts of King Louis the 14th of France.
No, it actually didn't, even though the Classical Ballet words are in French. Classical Ballet first started in Italy!
