She went on to earn accolades in every major classical role as well as having several contemporary ballets choreographed on her. She was chosen by, and worked with the legendary choreographers: Sir Frederick Ashton, Roland Petit, Erik Bruhn, John Neumeier and Jiri Kylian – and she in turn nurtured a younger generation of Canadian choreographers including James Kukelka, Anne Ditchburn, Constantin Patsalas and David Allan. For 25 years she danced across North and South America, Europe and Japan, dancing with the greatest male dancers of our time including; Erik Bruhn, Rudolf Nureyev, Anthony Dowell, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Edward Villella, Fleming Flindt, Peter Schaufuss, Niels Kehlet, Fernando Bujones, Ivan Nagy, Jean Pierre Bonnefous and Richard Cragun. She was blessed with her Canadian partners, from Earl Kraul (her first Romeo), to Lawrence Adams, Glenn Gilmour, Frank Augustyn, Sergiu Stefanschi, Kevin Pugh, Rex Harrington and Raymond Smith (her tenth Romeo). Two of the CBC television performances with Tennant in the title role; Cinderella and The Sleeping Beauty, won Emmy Awards.

    Veronica Tennant, C.C. Prima Ballerina Bio & Resume Veronica Tennant, during her illustrious 25-year career as Prima Ballerina with The National Ballet of Canada - won a devoted following on the international stage as a dancer of extraordinary versatility and dramatic power. Born in London England, Veronica Tennant started ballet lessons at four at the Arts Educational School, and with her move to Canada at the age of nine, started training with Betty Oliphant and then the National Ballet School. While she missed a year on graduation due to her first back injury, she entered the company in 1964 as its youngest principal dancer. Tennant was chosen by Celia Franca and John Cranko for her debut as Juliet. She went on to earn accolades in every major classical role and extensive neo-classical repertoire as well as having several contemporary ballets choreographed for her. She worked with the legendary choreographers; Sir Frederick Ashton, Roland Petit, Jiri Kylian, John Neumeier, and championed Canadian choreographers such as James Kudelka, Ann Ditchburn, Constantin Patsalas and David Allan.

Built on the legacy of visionaries Dorothy Alexander and Anatole Chujoy, the NARB contributed to the decentralization of dance as regional companies grew in stature and quality nationwide. Under the leadership of Doris Hering, and with the encouragement of Ben Sommers, its membership grew to five geographical areas and over two hundred companies including more than two dozen nationally recognized professional groups. As we enter a new decade, RDA is dedicated to fostering quality, promoting education and nurturing the talents of dancers and choreographers while exploring new horizons. 35 Performance Advisory Committee Maria Crandy Robert Barnett Edward Villella Choreography Alfred Terlizzi Dennis Nahat jane Cifford Muriel Topaz Saeko Ichinohe Mel Tomlinson CONFERENCE: July 21-Aug. 2,1995 David Howard Robert Lindgren Florence Warren at The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa Lyle Cashion Jon Rodriguez Rochelle Zide-Booth Sally Bliss Ben Stevenson Maria Vegh 1 vJrl Dancers, Composers, Choreographers, Teachers.

  • Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) in 2014/15 Season the Tempest Postponed
    #6 Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) in 2014/15 Season The Tempest Postponed August 15, 2014… Karen Kain, Artistic Director of The National Ballet of Canada, today announced that the company will be performing Alexei Ratmansky’s Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) May 30 – June 7, 2015 in Toronto at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. The work will replace Mr. Ratmansky’s The Tempest, which is postponed to a future season, and will be presented as part of a mixed programme with Being and Nothingness by Choreographic Associate and Principal Dancer Guillaume Côté. Recognized as one of the most versatile and artistically wide-ranging of contemporary choreographers, Mr. Ratmansky has always maintained a deep and abiding connection to the cultural climate and traditions of his native Russia. In his Shostakovich Trilogy, he turns to the towering musical figure of the ballet’s title and explores through three key works the conflicting dualities of art and politics, imaginative freedom and responsibility, that shaped much of the composer’s life. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed Shostakovich Trilogy “a masterpiece” and The New York Times described it as “fascinating, poetic, enigmatic and bittersweet”. The National Ballet of Canada’s 2014/15 season begins with a tour of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to the Lincoln Center in New York City, September 9 – 14, 2014. The Fall Season in Toronto opens with Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, November 8 – 16, 2014, followed by Nijinsky, by John Neumeier, November 22 – 30, 2014. Guillaume Côté is sponsored through Dancers First by Emmanuelle Gattuso and Allan Slaight.

    Back to Tour de Force Tour de Force April 23, 2010 Michael Crabb When National Ballet School alumni look back on their student days, what they remember most are the special friendships and how privileged they were to attend the Toronto school. “I was so happy to be in that school, in that environment, among peers I could actually relate to,” remembers class of ’88 graduate Jason Beechey, now head of a leading dance academy in Germany. The special sense of kinship among NBS alumni comes from having shared their formative years in a necessarily hot-house environment where striving for seemingly unattainable goals is a daily routine. “Everyone wanted to do well and, of course, it was competitive, but we were happy for each others’ successes,” says choreographer Sabrina Matthews, NBS 1987-95. “We were all pursuing a single passion” says class of ’75 alumna Su Keen. “We grew up quickly.” Denise Mitsche and Jill Johnson performing "Serenade" in 1987. NBS offers children with a passion for dance the chance to pursue their ANDREW OXENHAM PHOTO dream all the way to the top. The standards are unforgiving and the regime tough – classes six days a week for almost 11 months a year – but NBS students typically can’t get enough of it and NBS staff is renowned for its dedicated, caring support. “Even the academic teaching staff were incredibly nurturing,” says 24-year-old National Ballet soloist Robert Stephen – who also recalls being made to clean all the cafeteria chairs after a boisterous pillow fight in Grade 7. More than 400 NBS alumni from across North America and overseas are rekindling old friendships and sharing special memories in Toronto this weekend to celebrate their alma mater’s 50th anniversary.
