Dancing Times May 2019
We pay special tribute to Margot Fonteyn in this month’s magazine. One of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century, and the only dancer to be given the title prima ballerina assoluta by The Royal Ballet, the centenary of Fonteyn’s birth – on May 18, 1919 – is marked by articles written for Dancing Times by The Royal Ballet’s director Kevin O’Hare, the dance critic Alastair Macaulay, and by Gerard Charles, artistic director of the Royal Academy of Dance.
