This absolutely beautiful with the wonderful Margot Fonteyn and David Blair, what a lovely partnership.

This is my late father, David Blair cbe, dancing with Margot, in an "evening with the Royal Ballet, 1963". This has been "cut" and edited badly though. Can anyone tell me if there is a full act film, with him dancing with Margot, please?

wonderful phrasing -- the back-bend goes over and over and hten hte arm CONTINUES goig back, filling out hte phrase beyond full, and then the fouette is instantaneous and she's facing us -- and at the END of htat phrase, how she lets the leg float down from arabesque with no hurry, . When she DOES move fast, it's like a cat, and she's suddenly there -- but never is she rushed.

Wonderful Fonteyn! Her prince is David Blair, I guess?

katerina. Unflashy sums her up. Margot was a great ballerina, but most of all, she was a true lady.
