Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Geller and Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the revolutionary 20 th century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous �ballet battles� that consumed London society before World War II.

Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal present-day interviews from many of the company's glamorous stars, the film treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come.
