Description
It is impossible to tell the story of Australian dance without mentioning Dame Margaret Scott, and the fiftieth anniversary of the Australian Ballet School is a fitting time to launch her biography. She has made an incomparable contribution to dance in Australia since arriving on tour in 1947 with the English company Ballet Rambert. She was a founding member of the National Theatre Ballet and led a group of Australians who established the Australian Ballet as the country's flagship dance company.
