Xandra Newman Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 https://britishballetnowandthen.com/author/britishballetnowandthen/ As The Sleeping Beauty is currently being performed at the Royal Opera House, it seems apt to reflect on the RB's quintessential British principal ballerinas, past and present. Here Rosemarie Gerhard talks about Margot Fonteyn, Lauren Cutbertson, Yasmine Naghdi and Francesca Hayward. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridiem Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks for posting this, Xandra. I have somehow managed never to hear of/come across British Ballet Now & Then and it looks very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janite Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Fonteyn’s style of dancing was, and has continued to be, perceived as the essence of the English style, with her clean, unexaggerated lines, and with her musicality and focus on balance, poise and harmony rather than on a show of virtuosity.
