Show Notes
As a child, Sonia York-Pryce studied at the Elmhurst Ballet School before attending the Royal Ballet School in London. These days Sonia works on her PHD research, titled “Ageism and the Mature Dancer” - which investigates the role of the dancers who extend beyond the industry expectations of acceptable age and analyses the contribution that they are making to the current dialogue relating to ageism in the dance world. So she’s basically a doctor of adult ballet and contemporary dance! We discuss what it’s like to have ballet in your life, the body, taking class, the most important part of a performance (charisma!) and how Margot Fonteyn used to peek through the Convent Garden studio window into her class.
