New Ballet Mistress for the Royal Ballet

[Bluebird]

I just found confirmation on the ROH website that Samantha Raine is to be the new Ballet Mistress for the company. Ursula Hageli, the previous Ballet Mistress, left in July.

Edited to wish Samantha every success in her new role.

I took many a ballet class from a former RB Ballet Mistress - Elaine Thomas. She was a wonderful teacher.

I particularly like Olga Evreinoff. We were fortunate enough to watch RB Company Class a few years ago and Olga was teaching. She'd reel off long combinations at lightning speed, say "Was I clear?" and about a nanosecond later, "And...1". Fortunately, she obviously was clear! :-)

Olga is being interviewed at the Ballet Association on Thursday.

 

(Have to declare an interest as I look after their website!)

ROH uploaded a video of her teaching a class as part of their RB Live event in March:
