Celebrating today the birthday of Dame Margot Fonteyn, the (RAD) longest serving President.
She was appointed Prima Ballerina assoluta of the Sadler's Well Ballet Company by Queen Elizabeth ll.
Fonteyn created magic when she danced. Her dancing was distinguished by its perfect line and exquisite lyricism.
It was a honour for our Founder director, Tushna Dallas who had the rare opportunity to watch her dance with Rudolf Nureyev at a performance of Giselle. Also a privledge to have had the chance to have met her in person.
(Happy Birthday. Dancing. Ballet)
