Timeline
Bronislava Nijinska was a petite but strong dancer with excellent technique who began her career with the Mariinsky Ballet in Russia. She became famous as a choreographer with Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris and Monte Carlo, then opened her own School of Ballet in Los Angeles.

Her father, Foma Lavrentevich Nijinsky, and her mother, Eleonora Bereda, were both professional dancers. Her older brother was Vaslav Nijinsky.
In 1895, at age 4, she made her theatrical debut together with her brother in a Christmas pageant performance in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia.

During the 1910-13 seasons, Nijinska built her reputation under choreographer Mikhail Fokin in such innovative productions as 'Carnival' and 'Petrouchka' by composer Igor Stravinsky.
In 1913 she left the Diaghilev's Ballet and made an attempt to start a ballet company with her brother Vaslav Nijinsky, but the effort failed because of her brother's personal problems with his marriage.

Nijinska created choreography for the highly acclaimed Diaghilev's production of 'Le Train Bleu' (1924, aka. . . The Blue Train), a ballet about the exodus of Paris society to the Riviera each summer on the train called 'Le Train Bleu'. In that production Nijinska created a special ambiance through the language of dance, she introduced angular and geometrical movements and organized dancers on stage as interactive groups, that alluded to images of sports activities , such as golf, tennis and recreational games on a beach. Nijinska herself performed in the role as Tennis player. In 'Le Train Bleu' Nijinska worked with plot writer Jean Cocteau, composer Darius Milhaud, and with costumes by Coco Chanel and monumental stage curtain designed by Pablo Picasso and executed by Prince Shervashidze, the largest of all canvasses signed by Picasso, who also wrote on it a dedication to Diaghilev.
