Tamara Karsavina - Personal Life

Personal Life

In 1917 she married diplomat Henry James Bruce. Like Anna Pavlova, she moved to Hampstead (although to the other side of Hampstead Heath), where she taught and wrote about ballet. Among her pupils were two prima ballerinas assolute, Dame Alicia Markova (the first British dancer to hold the rank of Prima Ballerina) and Dame Margot Fonteyn, and the future founder of Cambridge Ballet Workshop, Mari Bicknell.

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
