	Articles from the March 1994 Unification News
		Classical ballet has been described as the architecture of human movement synchronizing with the movements of artistic evolution, and nothing has embodied this understanding more than the fabled Russian dance tradition.
		The Kirov tradition, derived from its predecessor, the Imperial Russian Ballet School, is based on the work of such leading nineteenth- century choreographers as Jules Perrot (Ondine, Esmeralda, Giselle), Arthur Saint-Leon (La Fille de marbre, Le Violon du diable), and Marius Petipa (La Bayadare, The Sleeping Beauty, Pharaoh's Daughter).
		In particular, the arts and ballet cultivate the intellect as well as a person's behavior, mannerisms, self-discipline-all of these things are developed through the arts.
