Born near London, she started dancing at the age of three. She attended the Royal Ballet School[1] and performed with the Royal Ballet in The Sleeping Princess (The Sleeping Beauty), with Dame Margot Fonteyn, when the Royal Opera House reopened after the World War II in 1946.
She danced with the Anglo Polish Ballet in 1949.,[2] and she joined the Ballet Rambert in 1950, later becoming its prima ballerina.[3]
She danced numerous roles, including Les Sylphides, The Nutcracker, Gala Performance, and The Sleeping Beauty, but her most celebrated was the part of Giselle.[citation needed] She performed in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States, and at the Baalbek festival in Lebanon, where she shared the programme with the Lebanese singer Fairuz.[4] In 1996-97 she performed again with the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House in Don Quixote, with Sylvie Guillem, fifty years after her first performance there.[citation needed]
