Dame Ninette And English National Dance

An exploration of some of the key moments in the career of Ninette De Valois, including her first professional performance at the age of 14 and a half, her work with Diaghilev's Ballet Russes, and her meeting in 1926 with Lilian Baylis, an association that led to the foundation of the Vic-Wells Ballet and the Sadler's Wells Ballet, which became the Royal Ballet in 1956.
