The Ballet Russe Tour
 
Back to Winnipeg Ballet

David's first exposure to ballet
In 1941, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo toured Canada, including Winnipeg. "Circles within circles", David would say: at this time he saw Berisov, whose daughter Svetlana he would dance with during his 1947-48 contract with the Metropolitan Ballet in London.
