It's quoted in Bernard Taper's Days with Ulanova; she is quoted saying that she, Sergeyev and the other dancers came up with it, she didn't claim authorship except as part of the production where the bon mot was created.  But then that sounds like her, doesn't it?  She might well have invented it, but would say it was all part of a company effort.
