Here is a panorama of my hometown of St. Petersburg, Russia. It was home to me, and my mother and father as I grew up. St. Petersburg also housed the Mariinsky Theater along with the Imperial Russian Ballet company where I spent so many of my years learning and dancing. Had I not been born in the wonderful capital of Russia, and arguably the capital of ballet, I would not have had the opportunities provided to me to learn how to dance as I did. Although it was my hometown, I left to teach all over the world in 1920 when the Russian Revolution sprang up.
