Born Today: George Balanchine

Ballet choreographer George Balanchine (1904–1983), perhaps the most influential choreographer of the 20th century, was a lifelong student of movement and made about 400 dances. You may not know that he was also a lover of cats. He credited this acrobatic feline for giving him ideas for spectacular jumps.

Also Born Today: Ballet dancer Theodore Kosloff (1882–1956), whose remarkable career included dancing with the Ballets Russes, choreographing for Broadway shows in the teens, and appearances in silent films.
