In 1938, the company was reorganized under Advanced Arts, Inc., with Rudolf Orthwine as president. The Mordkin Ballet began to tour nationwide with a small repertory of ballets choreographed by Mordkin. Advance Productions, with Lucia Chase as the major stockholder, was incorporated in March, 1937, to sponsor the company. Plans for the student company became more ambitious. On December 19, 1936, the company presented Sleeping Beauty,sponsored by the Woman's Club of Waterbury, Connecticut, with Lucia Chase and Dimitri Romanoff in the leading roles. By 1936, according to an advertisement of the time, his school offered “complete ballet training, mimo-drama classes, rehearsal group prepare ballets for performances.” This group, the Mikhail Mordkin Ballet, was an outlet for advanced students (with Mordkin himself dancing main character parts). He left Russia in 1923, settled in New York, and in 1927, opened a ballet school in Carnegie Hall. In 1910, he partnered Anna Pavlova at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and on a tour of the United States. He was a graduate of the Imperial Ballet School there and eventually became a leading dancer at the Bolshoi Theatre. Mikhail Mordkin was born in Moscow in 1881. The records of the company attest to the pursuit of these goals.
