Moiseyev graduated from the
Bolshoi Theatre
ballet
school in 1924 and danced in the theatre until 1939. His first choreography in the Bolshoi was
Footballer
in 1930 and the last was
Spartacus
in 1954.
Since the early 1930s, he staged acrobatic
parades
on
Red Square
and finally came up with the idea of establishing the Theatre of Folk Art. In 1936,
Vyacheslav Molotov
put him in charge of the new dance company, which has since been known as the Moiseyev Ballet. Among about 200 dances he created for his company, some humorously represented the game of
football
and
guerrilla warfare
. After visiting
Belarus
he choreographed a Belarusian "folk" dance
Bulba
("Potato"), which over the years indeed became a Belarusian folk dance. According to the
Encyclopædia Britannica
, Moiseyev's work has been especially admired "for the balance that it maintained between authentic folk dance and theatrical effectiveness".
Moiseyev was named
People's Artist of the USSR
in 1953,
Hero of Socialist Labor
in 1976, received the
Lenin Prize
(1967, for the dance show
A Road to the Dance
), four
Stalin
/
USSR State Prizes
(1942, 1947, 1952, 1985),
Russian Federation State Prize
(1996), was awarded numerous orders and medals of the Soviet Union, Spain and many other countries. On the day of his
centenary
, Moiseyev became the first Russian to receive
Order of Merit for the Fatherland
, 1st class — the highest civilian decoration of the
Russian Federation
. In 2001, he was awarded the
UNESCO Mozart Medal
for outstanding contribution to world music culture. He died in
Moscow
in 2007.
