Organizer Ronn Guidi Foundation for Dance
Organizer of A Ballet Russe Revival
The Ronn Guidi Foundation for Dance was created in 2016 to continue the work of Founding Artistic Director of the Oakland Ballet, Ronn Guidi.
During his years at the helm of the company, Ronn Guidi brought back to the stage lost ballets of the Ballet Russes era, 1909–1929.
Sergei Diaghilev created the Ballet Russes, bringing forth a new vision of dance to Europe through choreography, scenic design, costume, lighting, story, and music.
The Foundation endeavors to raise funds to support performances of Ballet Russes era ballets, as well as other early 20th century masterworks, keeping alive the innovative vision created by the Maecenas of all arts, Sergei Diaghilev.
