==Early life and training==
Harold Turner was born in Manchester, in northwestern England. The son of Edward Harold Turner and Laura (Greenwood) Turner, he was raised in a cultured, musical household. His father was a viola player with the Hallé Orchestra, based in Manchester, and with the London Symphony Orchestra.〔Arnold Haskell, "Turner, Harold (1909–1962)", in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', edited by H.C.G. Matthew and Brian Harrison (Oxford University Press, 2004). (accessed 28 March 2014 )〕 His mother, who had interests in the performing arts, supported his decision to begin ballet training in 1925 at the relatively late age of 16. He studied first with Alfred Haines in Manchester. Blessed with a lithe, muscular physique and innate musicality, he quickly showed an aptitude for classical ballet. He made his professional debut with the Haines English Ballet while still a teenager. Then, encouraged by Léonide Massine, he moved to London and continued his studies with Marie Rambert at her school in Bedford Gardens.〔Barbara Newman, "Turner, Harold," in ''International Encyclopedia of Dance,'' edited by Selma Jeanne Cohen and others (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), vol. 6, p. 213.〕
