Opening with performances at the Cambridge Theatre, London, in May 1939, Lydia Kyasht’s company toured Britain intermittently from November 1939. From 1944 to the company’s closure in 1946, the Ballet de la Jeunesse Anglaise toured to Brussels, Antwerp, Paris, and locations in Germany and Ireland. The company repertory included ballets choreographed by Kyasht, Catherine Marks and John Regan.
