In 1965, de Valois produced and choreographed the first full-length work created for the new Turkish State Ballet. Titled "Çeşmebaşı" ("At the Fountain"), the ballet was the first to feature music composed by a Turkish composer, Ferit Tuzun, and its choreography incorporated elements of Turkish folk dance. Further ballets followed, and the company continued to develop. Today, ballet continues to be a thriving art form in Turkey, with the ballet school that de Valois established now forming part of the State Conservatory for Music and Drama at the Ankara State Conservatory.
