Boris Vladimirovich Volkoff, OC (born Boris Vladimirovich Baskakoff; April 24, 1900 – March 11, 1974) was a Canadian-Russian ballet dancer, director, choreographer and ballet master.
 After studying dance in Warsaw and Moscow he defected from Russia and eventually settled in Toronto.
 He created the Boris Volkoff School of Dance which trained ballet dancers, and the Boris Volkoff Ballet Company which is arguably considered the first ballet company in Canada.
 He gave his dancers and studio to the National Ballet of Canada to raise the profile of Canadian ballet.
 He regretted this decision and attempted to revive his company which ended in failure.
 He was appointed as a Member of the Order of Canada in 1973, one year before his death.
The Cairo Opera Ballet Company is the resident ballet company of the Cairo Opera House and a ballet school affiliated to Egypt's Higher Institute of Ballet.
 Its foundation began in 1958 during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser through the efforts of Tharwat Okasha, Egypt's culture minister at the time, and Leonid Lavrovsky, the former artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet who took a group of Egyptian dancers to Russia for two years of training.
 At the time of its founding, it was the only Arab resident classical ballet company in the Middle East.
Dennis Wayne's Dancers was a New York based contemporary ballet company founded around dancer Dennis Wayne by Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.
 Formed in the summer of 1975 after Wayne left the American Ballet Theatre, the contemporary ballet company drew on the talents of many famous dancers and received critical acclaim.
 The dancers came from a variety of different companies, including Joffrey Ballet and American Ballet Theatre.
 Known for their virtuosic skill, the company performed both ballet and modern dance works.
 Dennis Wayne’s Dancers presented diverse programs with pieces by a variety of choreographers; though he also presented work he choreographed himself.
 Dennis Wayne also danced with the Company, but did not begin appearing with them until 1986.
Prima ballerina assoluta is a title awarded to the most notable of female ballet dancers. To be recognised as a "prima ballerina assoluta" is a rare honour, traditionally reserved only for the most exceptional dancers of their generation.
 Originally inspired by the Italian ballet masters of the early Romantic ballet, and literally meaning "absolute first ballerina", the title was bestowed on a prima ballerina who was considered to be exceptionally talented, above the standard of other leading ballerinas.
 The title is very rarely used today and recent uses have typically been symbolic, either in recognition of a prestigious international career, or for exceptional service to a particular ballet company.
 There is no universal procedure for designating who may receive the title, which has led to dispute in the ballet community over who can legitimately claim it.
 It is usually a ballet company that bestows the title, however some dancers have had the title officially sanctioned by a government or head of state, sometimes for political rather than artistic reasons.
 Less common is for a dancer to become identified as a "prima ballerina assoluta" as a result of public and critical opinion.
The Boston Ballet is an American professional classical ballet company based in Boston, Massachusetts.
 The company, founded in 1963 by E. Virginia Williams, and Sydney Leonard, was the first professional repertory ballet company in New England.

 Today, Boston Ballet is one of the major ballet companies in North America and among the top companies in the world.
 Current Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen was selected to lead Boston Ballet in September 2001.
 Under his artistic direction, Boston Ballet maintains an internationally recognized repertoire of classical, neo-classical and contemporary works, ranging from full-length story ballets to masterworks by George Balanchine, to new works and world premieres by contemporary choreographers.
 Nissinen leads the company, and Boston Ballet School, the largest ballet school in North America, with Executive Director Meredith (Max) Hodges.
Ballet Manila is a classical ballet institution and dance company in the Philippines.
 It currently highlights more than fifty highly trained dancers in the highly rigorous Russian (Vaganova) method of classical ballet.
 Locally the company has performed in 47 cities holding more than 4,100 performances.
 The company has done tours in Asia, Europe and North America, where it has held more than 140 performances.
 The company is most notable for its in-house creative director, principal dancer and prima ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde.
 Along with Ballet Philippines and the Philippine Ballet Theatre, Ballet Manila is one of the three major ballet companies in the Philippines.
 It regularly holds its performances at the Aliw theater and Star Theater, which are both located within Star City at Pasay City.
 The concept of a ballet company by the dancers, of the dancers and for the dancers was the idea of Lisa Macuja-Elizalde when she, along with ballet master Osias Barroso and ten other dancers established Ballet Manila in 1995.
Ballet Master (also "Balletmaster", "Ballet Mistress" [increasingly archaic English language use], "Premier Maître de ballet" or "Premier Maître de ballet en Chef") is the term used for an employee of a ballet company who is responsible for the level of competence of the dancers in their company.
 In modern times, ballet masters are generally charged with teaching the daily company ballet class and rehearsing the dancers for both new and established ballets in the company's repertoire.
 The artistic director of a ballet company, whether a male or female, may also be called its ballet master.
 Historic use of gender marking in job titles in ballet (and live theatre) is being supplanted by gender-neutral language job titles regardless of an employee's gender identity or expression (e.g. "Ballet Master" in lieu of "Ballet Mistress", "Wig Master" as an alternative to "Wig Mistress").
