Royal pupil for Rudi
Rudolph Nureyev has a new pupil with whom he pirouettes around a studio at the Royal Ballet School in London, according to the "Sunday Express.” She is 44, wears a leotard. and despite being slightly plump Nureyev gives her ballet lifts above his shoulder. Her name: Princess Margaret. A friend of Nureyev’s, a photographer, Allen Warren, told the newspaper: "They dance together in a large studio furnished only with a large mirror, a harre and a piano,” the Press Association reports. “He told me he puts her through the whole routine of pirouettes and arabesques. He also gives her ballet lifts high on his shoulder. “Obviously it is a marvellous way for the Princess to keep fit.” Princess Margaret, an avid ballet enthusiast, is president of the Royal Ballet School. Her daughter, Lady Sarah, aged 10. is being taught by the school’s founder, Dame Ninette de Valois.
