Julián de Meriche (April 5, 2015 Russian Empire-July 27, 1974 Mexico City) also known as Julien de Meriche, Vladimir Lipkies Chazan, Julien de Meriche y su Conjunto, Julien de Meriche y sus Meriche Girls or Julién de Meriche was a Russian actor and choreographer. He had three children, Ivan Lipkies, Ivette Lipkies and Goretti Lipkies.
Julián de Meriche was born in the Russian Empire in 1905 (some sources say 1903) and moved to Mexico as a young adult. He quickly made a name for himself as an actor in Mexican cinema, appearing in over 50 films throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. However, de Meriche was also an accomplished dancer and choreographer, and he is perhaps best known for his contributions to Mexican folklore ballet.
In addition to his film work, de Meriche founded his own ballet company and traveled throughout Mexico and the United States, presenting traditional Mexican dances and music with his ensemble, the Meriche Girls. He also collaborated with famous artists like Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Carlos Chávez on various projects.
De Meriche's legacy lives on in Mexico through his ongoing influence on folklore ballet, which continues to be a vibrant and celebrated aspect of Mexican culture.
