Created by impresario Sergei Diaghilev and employing primarily dancers trained in Russia, the company operated between 1909 and 1929, touring Europe and North and South America. Sofia Fedorova (1879–1963) was trained at the Bolshoi School in Moscow and danced with the Ballets Russes from 1909 through 1928.
