Dolin, Anton (1904–1983)

English dancer and choreographer. He was the first British male dancer to win an international reputation. As a dancer, his reputation rested on his commanding presence, theatricality, and gymnastic ability. His most famous partnership was with Alicia Markova. After studying under Nijinsky, he was a leading member of Diaghilev's company 1924–29. He formed the Markova–Dolin Ballet Company with Markova 1935–38, and was a guest soloist with the American Ballet Theater 1940–46.

He created roles in Nijinska's Le Train bleu (1924) and Balanchine's The Prodigal Son (1929) while with the Ballets Russes; and Satan in de Valois' Job (1931). He was knighted in 1981.
