Sharon Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Wow thank you Jan. What a really interesting article. I loved Elisha, a beautiful ballerina - and those feet! David Bintley was such a great director/ choreographer because he always chose the perfect dancers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Interesting, lovely article. It brought to mind former SWRB/BRB dancers, Chenca Williams and June Highwood. I think Williams worked at her mother's bridal boutique after retining from dancing and I believe Highwood used to knit sweaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved June Highwood, such a beautiful dancer with legs and feet to die for. I do think she was a bit underrated....as it's us old die hard SWRB fans who remember her I think... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryrosesatonapin Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Ah yes, I remember her! I always feel sad for dancers having to give up the career they love at a relatively young age, but Elisha describes the change in a really positive way that I hadn't thought of before: 'We have an opportunity to have a whole other life after ballet' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstar Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Thank Janet. Willis has a special place in my memories and one of my all time favourite dancers. Very interesting article and good to hear what she is up to now, and that she is successful despite the difficulties of the theatre world during lockdown.
