The 1909 and 1910 seasons of the Ballets Russes consisted of a pick-up troupe of dancers on vacation from the Russian Imperial Theater. However, the ballets were so popular with Paris audiences that Diaghilev created a permanent dance company in 1911 with Michel Fokine (1888–1942) as the principal choreographer. He produced more than twenty works for Diaghilev between 1909 and 1912 and 1914 and 1915, and his choreographies established the base for the repertory of the Ballets Russes until it dissolved in 1929. Many of his works continue to be performed today, including Les Sylphides, Schéhérazade, The Firebird, Le Spectre de la Rose, and Petrouchka.
