George Balanchine was the choreographer for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in the United States during World War 2 due to the inability for ballet companies to perform in Europe and many other countries. The US was the safest place to be and they could still perform and earn money.

George Balanchine was the renown and famous Russian choreographer, founder of the School of American Ballet and the New York City Of Ballet. He composed countless works for his company. And not only. But he changed the whole look and feel of ballet. He was primarily more responsible for making ballet more like modern dance. Although he was best known for his interpretation of "The Nutcracker," he prefered ballet without costumes and plots. Dance that just spoke for itself. He was a mentor and a father figure to super-star dancers such as Edward Villella, Peter Martins, Suzanne Farrell and Gelsey Kirkland. Seeing as how he never had children of his own, he treated the dancers in his company like his own kids. He died in 1983 of complications from a terminal disease. Discipile Peter Martins was made the sole heir to the City Ballet and the School of American Ballet. Martins retired form dancing in 1983 to run the companies as absolute chairman. And to choreograph.
