&#65279Dancer Robert Barnett trained under legendary

choreographer Bronislava Nijinska. His professional ballet

career was launched when he joined the Colonel de Basil

Original Ballet Russe company. In the late 1940s, when

George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein formed the New York

City Ballet, Barnett was among the first generation of dancers.

Under Balanchine's direction, he rose from corps de ballet to

soloist. In 1958 he became principal dancer and associate

artistic director of the Atlanta Ballet--the oldest continuously

operating company in America--and served as artistic director

for more than thirty years. He was head coach of the American

delegation to the International Ballet Competitions in Varna,

Bulgaria, in 1980 and in Moscow in 1981. Barnett's

autobiography recounts the life of a dancer and artistic


director, offers insight into what is involved in pursuing a

professional career in dance and provides a history of ballet in

America from the early 1920s through 2019.
