Ballet was not introduced to Russia, that's where ballet started
the Russians
Ballet was first introduced in the US in 1901 when The Ballet Russe, a Russian technique company started touring and perfroming in the states.
I'm not sure, but i wud bet that people saw ballet in France and brought back the ideas to their country. and mayb people who worked as people in ballet also went to other countrys and taught others how to do it
No, it was made in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. In other words it was made in Italy.

The Father of Figure Skating is the nickname given to Jackson Haines who introduced ballet to the sport in the 1860s.
Ballet started to boom when the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (the Russian Ballet) toured in America around the turn of the century. Soon, some of the company settled in the states, and from there, the technique developed and spred. For more information, there is a doccumentary called The Ballet Russes (or The Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo). Many of the original members are still alive, and if you track them down, are still willing to mentor and teach. I have actually had many classes with George Zoritch, and my teacher has been studying with him since she was a little girl.
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. :)
Ballet, as we know it today, began during the Renaissance around the year 1500 in Italy. In fact, the terms "ballet" and "ball" as in masked ball, come from the Italian ballare, to dance. When Catherine de Medici of Italy married the French King Henry II, she introduced early dance styles into court life in France.
