Description:	The expressive arts played a dramatic and highly visible role in the former Soviet empire. Unlike the United States, the arts in the Soviet Union received extensive public support through state-sponsored schools to train professional dancers and performing troupes such as the great Kirov and Bolshoi ballet companies. At the regional level, the famous pan–Soviet Moiseyev company toured the world featuring “national” dances representing the diverse republics and peoples comprising the Soviet Union. Why did the Soviet government choose dance as a political medium? How did the expressive arts affect Soviet society, and how did such close links with the state affect art and artists? What did it mean to be an artist trained and employed by a colonial government?
