Merle Park
Merle Park, DBE, (born 8 October 1937) is a British ballet dancer and teacher, now retired.〔Debra Craine and Judith Mackrill, "Park, (Dame) Merle," in ''The Oxford Dictionary of Dance'' (Oxford University Press, 2000).〕 As a prima ballerina with the Royal Ballet during the 1960s and 1970s, she was known for "brilliance of execution and virtuoso technique"〔Jim Fowler, "Merle Park," ''Ballet Magazine'' (London), 4 November 1997.〕 as well as for her ebullience and charm. Also admired for her dramatic abilities, she was praised as an actress who "textured her vivacity with emotional details."〔Anonymous, "Dame Merle Park," online biography, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, http://www.istd.org/staff/dame-merle-park. Retrieved 14 September 2015.〕 ==Early life and training== Born in Salisbury, the capital and most populous city of the self-governing British Crown colony of Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), Margaret Kneusen was educated in local schools.〔Christopher Pilcher, "Ballet Dancers Born in Rhodesia," in The Southern African History Musings of Ross Dix-Peek, website, http://peek-01.livejournal.com/37327.html?page=1. Retrieved 21 November 2015.〕 As a child she began her dance training with Betty Lamb, a local ballet teacher, and soon showed unusual facility. In 1951, when she was 14, her parents moved the family to England and enrolled her in the Elmhurst School for Dance. Located in Camberley, Surrey, not far from central London, Elmhurst is an independent vocational school for youngsters intent on pursuing a professional career in classical ballet. During her three years there, Park proved to be an outstanding student. She transferred to the Sadler's Wells Ballet School in London in 1954, and, after only six months of study, was taken into the ''corps de ballet'' of the Sadler's Wells Ballet company, soon to be granted a royal charter and renamed The Royal Ballet.〔Barbara Newman, "Park, Merle," in ''International Encyclopedia of Dance'', edited by Selma Jeanne Cohen and others (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), vol. 5, p.100.〕 She herself adopted a new name, Merle Park, for theatrical purposes.
