Pavlov Ballet (later Ballet Russe) was a Russian-based ballet company in Swansea that operated out of the Swansea Grand Theatre. It was the first Russian ballet company incorporated outside of Russia.[citation needed] It was founded by Dmitri Pavlov in 1992 and incorporated in England and Wales in 1997.[citation needed] The company was led by twin sisters Ella Gusova (company director) and Alla Chachina (artistic director).[1]
Pavlov Ballet's first season in the UK began in September 1998 and concluded in June 1999. The company repertoire included Giselle, Grand Pas from Paquita, Les Sylphide and a number of variations and Pas De Dux from various ballets. The progress of the company was closely followed by the media: BBC, HTV, Woman’s own magazine, Independent Sunday magazine among a few. BBC Radio 4 covered the pre-season launch and later BBC Europe Direct ran a feature. After a successful season the company was sold to Grand Theatre Swansea where it continued under a different name, Swansea Ballet Russe.
