How much do ballet lovers on these shores owe to the Ballets Russes? As surely as Alexander the Great plowed through the known world in his day, those starving Russian emigres rolled across America and built a ballet audience where none had been before. A new territory was swiftly conquered. After World War II broke out and Europe's theaters closed, America was the dancers' salvation. And -- if it's not too grandiose to say -- they became ours.
