	Kennedy Center: Information about Royal Danish Ballet School
		The Royal Danish Ballet School is still situated at the theater, making Denmark the sole country in the world in which the national ballet company, the ballet school, and the attached primary school are all located under the same roof.
		Under the supervision of ballet master August Bournonville, the Royal Danish Ballet School was reorganized in 1847, dividing the pupils into two classes; one reserved exclusively for the children, and the other one for the adult dancers.
		The Royal Danish Ballet School is an institution that constantly develops in response to the ever-changing demands on its students.

	wbur.org Arts - Dance - Danish Treat
		Bournonville ballet is a style that joins irrepressible footwork, intricate and light as lace doilies, to an upper body that, as RDB balletmaster Lloyd Riggins explained, is "calm enough to drink a cup of tea." For Bournonville, feet are the rhythm and arms are the melody.
		Bournonville's ballets -- created during Denmark's Golden Age, between 1830 and 1877, a period which for the sake of orientation spans the period between the American presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Rutherford B. Hayes -- were products of a Romanticism that strove for inner understanding amid a welter of potentially destabilizing emotions.
		Former Boston Ballet director Bruce Marks, the American who danced with the company and married into one of the Royal Danish Ballet's most distinguished families, was on hand for "Abdallah," the ballet he helped to restore in 1986 after nabbing the scenario in a Sotheby's auction.

	Ballet, Dance and Theatre
		Danish ballet, dance and theatre are all of international standard and especially The Royal Danish Ballet has become famous outside the country through world-wide touring activities.
		The Royal Theatre Ballet School was founded in 1771, and in 1775 the Italian Vincenzo Galeotti (1733-1816) came to Copenhagen to fill the post of ballet master and choreographer.
		Danish contemporary choreographers are in short supply, but notably Anna Lærkesen (b.1942) has found her own way of developing the neo-classical style, and Denmark has found its latest choreographic talent in the British Tim Rushton (b.1963), who works with both classical and modern dancers in performances ranging from the serious and sensitive to the comic.

	washingtonpost.com: Danes Take Steps Into The Past
		NATIONAL STYLE, in ballet terms, is more than just a company's local "flavor." For instance, when the Royal Danish Ballet returns to the Kennedy Center Opera House on Tuesday, the company's impeccable and internationally lauded style will showcase the purest of classical techniques, unhindered for the most part by exterior influences for centuries.
		The Royal Danish Ballet is among the oldest ballet companies in the world, founded in 1748 in Copenhagen, where the company still performs in the tradition developed by August Bournonville, its most famous dancer, choreographer and ballet master.
		Tomalonis was enchanted by the Danish ballet style when she saw the company perform in 1976.

		The first Danish court ballet was performed in 1634 at the wedding of Prince Christian and Magdalena Sibylla, and it culminated under Frederik III, whose queen, Sophie Amalie, was a ballet enthusiast and led the court in dancing as an amazon, a peasant girl, a Spanish lady or the muse of war.

		Ballet in Denmark was made with the same care until the 1990s, when administrative changes at the Royal Theatre turned that institution’s priorities from art to efficiency with predictable results.
		The Royal Danish Ballet, the country’s only classical company, is located in Copenhagen, the nation’s intimate, cosmopolitan capital where 25 percent of the population resides.

	Royal Danish Ballet's Napoli 1 - Alexandra Tomalonis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Danish dancers will tell you that it’s not just a matter of learning the Bournonville style, but of growing up with the Danish “sense of humanity.” The ballet may be set in Naples, but it’s Danish in every other way, in its humor, its cosmopolitan vivacity, its modesty, and its sense of decency and community.
		In the ballabile, the non-Danes were indistinguishable from their Danish colleagues (one newcomer, Dawid Kupinski from Gdansk, was a standout not only in his dancing, but in the way he walked around the stage and paid attention to his partner after it was over).
		The glory of the Danish jump—that it continued rising, even as the dancer came back to earth—is gone; the trick of raising the chest and head as the dancer descends seems to have been forgotten.

		Danish dancers trained from childhood at the school housed in Copenhagen's Royal Theatre can be identified by particular aspects of technical prowess: an ebullient jump; light, swift footwork; and fluent épaulement.
		Most prominent among the Danish dancers are the company's stellar men, a good number of whom left the small duck pond--as the Danes, masters of ironic self-deprecation, refer to their country in contrast to the wide world--for careers on the international scene.
		The school of the Royal Danish Ballet has been in existence since 1770, providing its pupils with their dance training and, since the mid-nineteenth century, their academic education as well, and giving them opportunities to perform in the ballets, operas, and plays that constitute a repertory housed under one roof.

	The Royal Danish Ballet at the Paris Opera
		Auguste Bournonville(director 1840-1877), often referred to as a Frenchman by the French, but claimed as a Dane by the Danish, was actually the son of a French dancer, but born in Copenhagen.
		He was trained in France, and while the nobility and elegance of the French school formed the basis of his teaching, he added a certain "joie de vivre" to his choreography, believing dance to be the expression of the joy and happiness of life.
		A divertissement created over twenty years ago for his glorious "Ballet du XX century" (disbanded in 1987), all comparisons should be avoided, but the Danish troupe danced the piece with vitality, freshness and charm.

	CBC News Indepth: Ballet
		A well-executed ballet, however, transports the audience into a fantasy world where dancers defy gravity as they leap, maintain balance during dizzying spins, glide along their tiptoes and rise into the air as if light as a feather.
		Though it may encompass incredible technicality and difficulty, a ballet's audience is only aware of its ability to personify or evoke emotion – from rage to jealousy to love – simply though the movements and the lines of the dancers' bodies.
		Ballet originates as the court entertainment of Renaissance Italy, where the ruling aristocracy patronizes the arts and compete with each other by holding elaborate, costly parties featuring dance performances by their subjects.
