Claude Balon (also Ballon, often incorrectly named Jean; 1671–1744)[1] was a French dancer and choreographer. He is listed as a performer in 11 known choreographies, with the earliest during the reign of King William III, and was credited as the deviser of 23 published choreographies, with the first appearing in 1714 [2]
The ballet term ballon is sometimes said to be derived from his name, but Robert Greskovic calls this "dubious".[3] Balon danced under the tutelage of the balletmaster Pierre Beauchamp at the Paris Opera. Marie Sallé is identified as a student of Balon's.[4]
