- Biography
- Ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher Mikhail Mordkin (1881-1944) was born in Russia and was a graduate of the Bolshoi Ballet School, later touring with Anna Pavlova. He married ballerina Bronislava Pozhitskaia and they had one son, Michael Mordkin, Jr. They settled in the United States in 1924 and Mordkin opened a school of ballet in New York City in 1925. He formed the short-lived Mordkin Ballet company in 1926, dissolving it that same year. In 1937, Mordkin began a new Mordkin Ballet company in New York and it was a forerunner of American Ballet Theatre. Mordkin died at his home at age 64.
