Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Matthew Lawrence has written a thought-provoking article on eating disorders in ballet on our website.
We are in nostalgic mode in this month’s Dancing Times, and there is also a distinct Russian flavour to the contents. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Maryinsky Ballet’s first performances in London, we publish on pages 34–35 a selection of Frederika Davis’ wonderful photographs of some of the great Russian ballet stars of […]
As Sylvie Guillem announces her retirement, we ask who are your favourite ballerinas of the 21st century?
