Vyvyan Lorrayne
Vyvyan Lorrayne (born 20 April 1939) is a South African ballet dancer, now retired. Noted as a "softly classical stylist," she won acclaim as a principal dancer in England's Royal Ballet during the 1960s and 1970s.〔Debra Craine and Judith Mackrill, "Lorrayne, Vyvyan," in ''The Oxford Dictionary of Dance'' (Oxford University Press, 2000).〕
==Early life and training==
Lorrayne was born in Pretoria, the executive capital of South Africa, located in the northern province of Transvaal (now Gauteng). Her parents were Anglophones of British stock, although Pretoria was at the time largely populated by Afrikaners. Having contracted polio when she was four and a half years old, she was sent to numerous dance classes to help in her recovery.〔Ann Shaw, "A Step in the Right Direction for Vyvyan Lorrayne," ''Glasgow Herald'', 8 June 1982.〕 Upon finding that only the strict Russian systems of ballet training really helped, she became a pupil of Faith de Villiers, a popular teacher of the Cecchetti method in Johannesburg, not far from her home town.〔Marina Grut, ''The History of Ballet in South Africa'' (Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 1981), pp. 372-373.〕 In the early 1950s, the teenage Lorrayne danced with the Johannesburg City Ballet, directed by de Villiers, and, in Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal), with the Durban Civic Ballet, where she studied with Poppins Salomon, a specialist in remedial dance work.〔Grut, ''The History of Ballet in South Africa'' (1981), p. 406.〕 In 1956, at age eighteen, she immigrated to England, settled in London, and enrolled in the Royal Ballet School on Barons Court Road. After a year's study there, she was hired as an artist of the Covent Garden Opera Ballet.
