Derek Rencher
Derek Rencher (6 June 1932 – 20 December 2014) was a British ballet dancer. A commanding figure among Royal Ballet character dancers for more than four decades, he was probably the most prolific performer in the company's history.〔Anonymous, "Derek Rencher, Ballet Dancer," obituary, ''The Telegraph'' (London), 11 February 2015.〕
==Early life and training==
Rencher was born in Birmingham, an industrial, commercial, academic, and cultural center in the West Midlands of England. He grew up in a working-class family, as his father was employed by the toolmakers John Rabone & Sons. An industrious student, he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London, where he pursued a course of study in design and art history. In the early 1950s, at age nineteen, he took a job as an extra during filming of ''Invitation to the Dance'', a Gene Kelly movie intended to educate mainstream audiences about the world of professional dancing. Besides Kelly himself, and such musical theater dancers as Carol Haney and Tommy Rall, the cast included international ballet stars Igor Yousekevitch, Claire Sombert, Tamara Toumanova, Diana Adams, David Paltenghi, and Claude Bessy. Enchanted by the experience, Rencher decided to switch to a dance career and began to take ballet classes with Igor Schwezoff at his private studio and with Jill Gregory and George Goncharov, who taught alongside Vera Volkova at the Sadler's Wells Ballet School.〔Horst Koegler, "Rencher, Derek," in ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet'', 2nd ed. (Oxford University Press, 1982).〕
