Let's say something about the Russian ballet, particularly referring to the 20th Century:

As the new century began, people started to look for fresh ideas. By now the Russian ballet had surpassed the French ballet and many Russian dancers had become international stars. Actually the most notable "ballerina" of that time was Anna Pavlova, (1881-1931), who is known for dancing The Dying Swan. 

The Ballets Russes was a ballet company set up in 1909 by Serge Diaghilev. The company created an excitement in Western Europe because of the great vitality of Russian ballet compared to the French one. "Ballet Russes" became one of the most influential ballet companies of the 20th century, in part because of its artistic cooperation among contemporary choreographers, artists and dancers. 

The last major production of the Ballet Russes was in Paris in 1921 with "The Sleeping Beauty", which had bring back the European audience's interest in the evening-length ballet.
