		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 had a lean time under pietist rule, but when The Danish Theatre opened at Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen in 1748 dance was represented again, although there were only very few Danish ballet artists.
		However, it was Harald Lander who led the ballet to a new series of triumphs in which the life blood was the play of contrasts between the demands of a modern repertoire and loyalty to the Bournonville tradition, which Harald Lander cultivated together with Valborg Borchsenius.

	Guardian \| Niels Bjorn Larsen
		Niels Bjorn Larsen, who has died aged 89, was a dancer, teacher, ballet master, choreographer and artistic director, and one of the greatest mimes of all time, during a life devoted to the Royal Danish Ballet.
		Born in Copenhagen, he entered the Royal theatre ballet school at the age of seven, and, in 1922, appeared as one of the mechanical dolls in Coppelia, in the version staged by Hans Beck, the foremost male dancer of his day.
		In the Bournonville ballets, he was funny as the lemonade seller in Napoli, and in the Old Folks' Dance in The Whims Of Cupid And The Ballet Master by Galeotti, first staged in 1786 and the oldest ballet with its original choreography.

		In his ballets, August Bournonville preserved the memory of his own training in Paris during the 1820s, a period that witnessed the transition between post-revolutionary ballet d'action, with its classical and mythological themes, and Romantic ballet, with its glorification of emotion, imagination and intuition.
		In the beginning, the ballets were small and mostly made by foreign ballet masters with foreign soloists and a Danish corps de ballet.
		Bournonville's ballets, along with the poetry of Adam Oehlenschläger and the dramas of Johan Ludvig Heiberg, were central to the Royal Theatre during the first half of the 19th century.

	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 fact that The Royal Danish Ballet enjoys international renown is due primarily to August Bournonville (1805-1879), whose works are performed by The Royal Danish Ballet on various international tours and have also been included in the repertory of many foreign companies.
		However, Danish ballet also nurtured a number of the greatest dancers and choreographers of the 20th century, and several have made a name for themselves outside Denmark.

		French court ballet was fashionable at the Danish court from the mid 17th century, but actual theatre dance did not appear until a national theatre was founded in the 18th century.
		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 dan-cers in performances ranging from the serious and sensitive to the comic.

		There is only one eighteenth-century ballet extant, Vincenzo Galeotti's The Whims of Cupid and the Ballet Master from 1786 and still officially in the repertoire of the Royal Danish Ballet.
		When we look at the nineteenth century, apart from a nice handful of Bournonville ballets, also preserved in something like aspic by the loyal and lonely Danes, the situation is murky.
		As for Giselle, that touchstone of Romantic ballet, the renditions we know today all stem from Petipa's final St. Petersburg production of 1884, which did, there is no doubt, retain strong elements of the 1841 Paris original with its choreography by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot.
