New Zealand Ballet was established in 1953 as an independent charitable trust by Royal Danish Ballet Principal Poul Gnatt, Beryl Nettleton, Bettina Edwards, another female dancer, and pianist Dorothea Franchi. In the late 1950s notable New Zealand dancers Russell Kerr, Rowena Jackson and Philip Chatfield, her English dancer husband, returned from overseas to join the company. |
