Tamara Rojo is Principal Ballerina with the Royal Ballet in London, United Kingdom. She was born in 1974 in Canada to parents of Spanish background. She moved, with her parents, back to Spain at the age of 4 months. For our class assignment, we are planning to expand the current Wikistub on Tamara Rojo. After doing minimal research, we plan to research more extensively the life, career, awards, and major events in Tamara’s life and present them in an informative, yet enchanting way to bring light to the life and talents of Tamara. Currently found resources are listed and we appreciate any further information on Tamara or the Royal Ballet.

Career
Tamara Rojo graduated with Honours in Master of Theatrical Arts and Bachelor of Dance from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. She trained with Vicor Ullate and danced with the Ballet de la Comunidad de Madrid in a wide-ranging repertoire, in which she developed her remarkable classical technique. Mr. Ullate choreographed many works for her to perform during this time. In 1994, she became notable after winning the Gold Medal at the Paris International Dance competition and a Special Jury Award given by Natalia Makarova, Vladimir Vassiliev, and Galina Samsova, a judging penal consist of most outstanding figures of the ballet world. In 1996, Tamara Rojo left her motherland Spain upon accepting an invitation by Galina Samsova to join the Scottish National Ballet. While working with the Scottish National Ballet, she performed the principal roles in Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, La Sylphide, and Cranko’ s Romeo and Juliet. Leaving Scottish National Ballet in 1997, she joined the English National Ballet. She started dancing a variety of principal roles such as Swan Lake, Paquita, Coppelia, Glen Tetley’s The Sphinx and Voluntaries, and Michael Corder’s Cinderella. Amazed by her talents, Artistic Director Derek Deane of the English National Ballet created the roles of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Clara in The Nutcracker for Tamara. Rojo was named “Dance Revelation of the Year” in 1997 after her astonishing performance as Clara, breaking attendance records at the London Coliseum. Tamara was invited as a guest artist to dance Giselle with the Royal Ballet by Sir Anthony Dowell, the Artistic Director of Britain's Royal Ballet. After receiving praises from both critics and audience, Tamara was officially invited to become a principal dancer of the Royal Ballet. She has been working with the company extensively ever since.
