The Anton Dolin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the creative heritage of Britain’s famed ballet dancer and choreographer Sir Anton Dolin, was founded November 2017 in Berlin, Germany.
Created by Sir Anton Dolin’s protégé Jelko Yuresha, the Foundation will promote Sir Anton’s historical impact and significance as Britain’s first Danseur Noble and co-founder of Festival Ballet which is now the world renowned English National Ballet. The Foundation will also preserve and promote the unique creative heritage and productions of Sir Anton Dolin’s work.
