Maurice Béjart
Maurice Béjart was a ballet dancer and choreographer, born in France and naturalized Swiss posthumously.

He founded several dance schools, one of which, the Rudra School in Lausanne, is still open and is one of the most famous professional dance schools in the world. He was appointed to the Académie des Beaux Arts from 1994 until his death.
