Ballets Russes was a progressive dance company that not only contributed in the modernization of ballet but also revitalized dance in the depressed art world at that time. This study is aimed to analyze how Ballet Russes could succeed magnificently from a production point of view, especially concerning the characteristics of Diaghilev’s production. In this article the characteristics of his production style are divided into two categories of ‘management’ and ‘artistic part.’ The ‘management’ part deals with human networks and business strategies. Diaghilev had private groups and an association of supporters, and he could get these people with his sociability. In the aspect of his business strategies, Diaghilev made himself brand of company, created dance works according to commercialized plans and adopted tour performing system. The ‘artistic’ part deals with the discerning eye for art and ability of discovering talented artists. Diaghilev had an eye for art which could have been refined in lots of art production experiences and he, a man of insight, always pursued novelty.

In conclusion, this discussion shows that these Diaghilev’s abilities of dance production which balanced between management and artistic qualification helped him to make Ballet Russes an influential company.
