toeprints Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Does anyone have current information on a few of my favorite Royal Ballet dancers - Anthony Dowell, Lynn Seymour, David Wall, Merle Park, or Antoinette Sibley? I know Sir Anthony retired from RB as AD in 2001, and Lynn left the Greek National Ballet last year. I believe Dame Merle retired from the RB Dance School a few years ago. However, all of these dancers were so talented, I hoped that they continued to teach or run a school or company. Thank you for your help. Link to comment
Alymer Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 David Wall was ballet master of English National Ballet until a short time ago. He did a remarkable job and was very highly spoken of. He has now officially retired, though I'm not certain that he has entirely stopped working. I saw him at a performance only a month or so ago with his wife, the former ballerina Alfreda Thorogood.

I have to keep reminding myself that most of my favorite dancers are of retirement age now. I hope he will teach or give master classes, etc. Link to comment
