Summary/Abstract: The article aims at the evolution of the female classical dance in the cultural space of Russia and European countries in the first half of the twentieth century. The article examines in detail the spread in the West of the Russian school of the female classical dance and its influence on the continuous development of ballet art in European countries. The period of 1909-1939 is considered to be the highest rise. During this time, all the components of ballet art – choreography, music, drama, fine arts – experinced a real flourishing. Simultaneously, there was a spatial distribution of the achievements of Russian ballet, their reproduction, as well as the synthesis of other ballet schools. This was due to the mass emigration of dancers and choreographers from Russia.
