His elder brother, Stanislav, and younger sister, <a href="/wiki/Bronislava_Nijinska" title="Bronislava Nijinska">Bronislava Nijinska</a>, known to intimates as Bronia, also became dancers; Bronia also became a <a href="/wiki/Choreographer" class="mw-redirect" title="Choreographer">choreographer</a>, working closely with him for much of his career. </p><p>At age nine, Nijinsky was accepted at the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Ballet_School" class="mw-redirect" title="Imperial Ballet School">Imperial Ballet School</a> in <a href="/wiki/Saint_Petersburg" title="Saint Petersburg">St. Petersburg</a>, the pre-eminent ballet school in the world.

The impresario took the <a href="/wiki/Russian_ballet" title="Russian ballet">Russian ballets</a> to Paris, where high-quality productions such as those of the Imperial Ballet were not known. Nijinsky became the company's star male dancer, causing an enormous stir amongst audiences whenever he performed. In ordinary life, he appeared unremarkable and was withdrawn in conversation. </p><p>Diaghilev and Nijinsky became lovers; the Ballets Russes gave Nijinsky the chance to expand his art and experiment with dance and choreography; he created new directions for male dancers while becoming internationally famous. </p><p>In 1912, Nijinsky began choreographing original ballets, including <i><a href="/wiki/Afternoon_of_a_Faun_(Nijinsky)" title="Afternoon of a Faun (Nijinsky)">L'après-midi d'un faune</a></i> (1912) to music by <a href="/wiki/Claude_Debussy" title="Claude Debussy">Claude Debussy</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Rite_of_Spring" title="The Rite of Spring">Le Sacre du Printemps</a></i> (1913) to music by <a href="/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky" title="Igor Stravinsky">Igor Stravinsky</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/Jeux" title="Jeux">Jeux</a></i> (1913), and <i><a href="/wiki/Till_Eulenspiegel%27s_Merry_Pranks#Ballet" title="Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks">Till Eulenspiegel</a></i> (1916). <i>Faune,</i> considered one of the first modern ballets, caused controversy because of its sexually suggestive final scene. At the premiere of <i>Le Sacre du Printemps</i>, fights broke out in the audience between those who loved and hated this startling new style of ballet and music. Nijinsky originally conceived <i>Jeux</i> as a flirtatious interaction among three males, although Diaghilev insisted it be danced by one male and two females. </p><p>In 1913, Nijinsky married Hungarian <a href="/wiki/Romola_de_Pulszky" title="Romola de Pulszky">Romola de Pulszky</a> while on tour with the company in South America. The marriage caused a break with Diaghilev, who soon dismissed Nijinsky from the company. The couple had two daughters together, <a href="/wiki/Kyra_Nijinsky" title="Kyra Nijinsky">Kyra</a> and Tamara Nijinska. </p><p>With no alternative employer available, Nijinsky tried to form his own company, but this was not a success.

During his first year, his academic studies had covered work he had already done, so his relatively poor results had not been so much noted. He did well in subjects which interested him, but not otherwise. </p><p>In 1902 he was warned that only the excellence of his dancing had prevented his expulsion from the school for poor results. This laxity was compounded through his school years by Nijinsky's frequently being chosen as an extra in various productions, forcing him to be away from classrooms for rehearsals and to spend nights at performances. He was teased for being Polish, and nicknamed "Japonczek" for his faintly Japanese looks at a time Russia was at war with Japan. Some classmates were envious and resented his outstanding dancing ability.

These introduced his audiences to the new direction of modern dance. As the title character in <i>L'après-midi d'un faune</i>, in the final tableau, he mimed masturbation with the scarf of a nymph, causing a scandal; he was defended by such artists as <a href="/wiki/Auguste_Rodin" title="Auguste Rodin">Auguste Rodin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Odilon_Redon" title="Odilon Redon">Odilon Redon</a> and <a href="/wiki/Marcel_Proust" title="Marcel Proust">Marcel Proust</a>.

The radically angular movements expressed the heart of Stravinsky's radically modern score. Violence broke out in the audience as <i>The Rite of Spring</i> premiered. The theme of the ballet, based on pagan myths, was a young maiden who sacrificed herself by dancing until she died.

Diaghilev asked him to begin preparing a new ballet, <i><a href="/wiki/Josephslegende" title="Josephslegende">La Légende de Joseph</a>,</i> based on the Bible. Aside from Nijinsky's difficulties, Diaghilev came under pressure from financial backers and theatre owners who wanted productions more in the style of previous successful work. Although Diaghilev had become unhappy with Fokine's work, thinking he had lost his originality, he returned to him for two new ballets, including <i>Joseph</i>. Relations between Diaghilev and Nijinsky had deteriorated under the stress of Nijinsky's becoming principal choreographer and his pivotal role in the company's financial success. Diaghilev could not face Nijinsky to tell him personally that he would no longer be choreographing the ballet <i>Joseph</i>, but instead asked his sister Bronia Nijinska to deliver the bad news. </p><p>The company was to embark on a tour of South America in August 1913. Nijinska, who had always worked closely with her brother and supported him, could not accompany the tour because she had married in July 1912 and become pregnant. In October 1912 their father had died while on tour with his dance company, causing another stress for the siblings. Diaghilev did not accompany the South American tour, claiming he had been told that he would die on the ocean. Others have suggested the reason had more to do with wanting to spend time away from Nijinsky and enjoy a holiday in Venice, "where perhaps adventures with pretty dark-eyed boys awaited him".<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Nijinsky set sail on a 21-day sea voyage in a state of turmoil and without the people who had been his closest advisers in recent years.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Vaslav_Nijinsky,_1912.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Vaslav_Nijinsky%2C_1912.jpg/220px-Vaslav_Nijinsky%2C_1912.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="315" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Vaslav_Nijinsky%2C_1912.jpg/330px-Vaslav_Nijinsky%2C_1912.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Vaslav_Nijinsky%2C_1912.jpg 2x" data-file-width="362" data-file-height="518" /></a><figcaption>Vaslav Nijinsky, 1912, dancing the <i>Faun</i>.

Diaghilev also usually dismissed dancers who married. This was perhaps beside the point, since Nijinsky had never had a contract, nor wages, all his expenses having been paid by Diaghilev.
