Description
1945 to 1965 was an astonishingly creative time for Australian dance. Dancers from the Ballets Russes tours and modernists were teaching, performing and developing companies. The results included long seasons by the Borovansky Ballet and the National Theatre Ballet Company and the foundation of the Australian Ballet.
