The Original Ballet Russe was founded in 1931 by Rene Blum and Wassily de Basil (also known as Colonel W. de Basil). This ballet company was one of the successors of Ballets Russes which had dissolved after Blum and de Basil had parted ways. De Basil then took ownership of the Original Ballet Russe and Blum went on to found his own company, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Impresario Sol Hurok managed both companies. The company was active until 1947 when it disbanded (there was a brief revival in 1951, but the company closed for the last time in 1952).
