My mother took me to see Dame Margot on her last tour of Australia in the early 70s. I saw her at the Regent Theatre, in Sydney. It was a beautiful, opulent old theatre. It was later pulled down to be a car-park, but worse still, it became junky clearance shops. Is this how we treat art?

Margot Fonteyn was my inspiration to take ballet lessons. I studied with the Royal Ballet in California; they had a studio in San Marino in the 60's. I was fortunate to see Fonteyn dance the Swan Lake pas de deux with Baryshnikov in the 70's, a moment I still remember as if it were yesterday.

Two years later she became my teacher- she had pretty feet like dancer's have today and her arms had this russian elegance and her movements we're amazing! she thought us vaganova stile.

I studied Vaganova method with Irina Vassilieff after our family moved from California to Virginia. She arranged my masterclass with Edward Villella. She was the best teacher I ever had and saw my potential. She was in her mid-fifties and overweight due to the cortisone shots she took for emphysema; but when she demonstrated a leap, she seemed to float and you never heard her land. Everything she did seemed effortless.

More than the most famous danseuse England had produced. On-stage, she came across as the Queen of England. She seemed like royalty. One would feel like bowing down and swearing allegiance to her. When she spoke, she sounded of the royal family too. To many of the aspiring, wishing, hopeful ballerinas of this world... Ms. Fonteyn was proof that one can achieve such a rank... even if one doesn't just seem "born for it." --A Lifelong Fan, Dane Youssef

Плохо то, что руководство королевского театра отказали ей в выплате пенсии, где она танцевала, платила налоги, своими гастролями, выступлениями приносила доход театру, ведь зрители шли в театр на её спектакли и выступления, чтобы смотреть на неё, Руководители королевского театра отказали ей в пенсии, учитыаая её высокие гонорары. А она много денег тратила на лечение своего мужа. И каково это, не имея возможности работать, в пожилом возрасте остаться без пенсии? Не поняли этого руководители королевского театра. Неужели нельзя было выплачивать хотя бы минимальную сумму, пенсию минимального размера? Так низко оценили её талант руководители королевского театра. Это ужасно.

She took a dreadful risk running across as the traffic began to move.

Although even being a great admirer of Dame Margot Fonteyne, I must say that a part of this interview really bothers me. She just does not give Rudolph Nureyev the credit he deserves...especially when being her dance partner. He did a lot for her at that time, as she was just about to retire, but was very much in need of financial help. The partnership proved very, very beneficial for her in several ways that she does not seem to acknowledge here at all.

Finally I read my thoughts. I watched other video about them. Her fame rose up when she started dancing with Rudolf and she actually choose him , he only started his short career , was big magnet in sociaty, he had huge charisma. She learnt from him a lot specially Russia ballet style. She speak about him with distance, like about a boy from cast. He doesnt deserve that attitude. Now I start not to like her.
