Senia Rusakoff (1891-1981) was a Russian dancer, who taught ballet along with his wife Regina (1903-1982). He danced in various troupes before setting up a dance studio in Boston in the early 1920s, where he and Regina taught until 1978. He founded several ballet groups, including the Boston Ballet Concerto Company, in 1926. The collection (1930s-1950s) focuses on the Russakoff's professional activities and contains copies and originals of photographs, programs, notes, and advertising material.
