Bruhn, Violette Verdy, Sonia Arova, and Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Rudolph Nureyev. Erik Bruhn was the premier male dancer of the 1950s and epitomized the ethereally handsome prince and cavalier on the international ballet stage of the decade. Combining flawless technique with an understanding of modern conflicted psychology, he set the standard by which the next generation of dancers, including Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Peter Schaufuss, and Peter Martins, measured their success. Born on October 3, 1928 in Copenhagen, Bruhn was the fourth child of Ellen Evers Bruhn, the owner of a successful hair salon. After the departure of his father when Erik was five years old, he was the sole male in a household with six women, five of them his seniors. An introspective child who was his mother's favorite, Erik was enrolled in dance classes at the age of six in part to counter signs of social withdrawal. He took to dance like a duck to water; three years later he auditioned for the Royal Danish Ballet School where he studied from 1937 to 1947. With his classic Nordic good looks, agility, and musicality, Bruhn seemed made for the August Bournonville technique taught at the school. He worked obsessively to master the technique's purity of line, lightness of jump, and clean footwork. Although Bruhn performed the works of the Royal Danish Ballet to perfection without any apparent effort, he yearned to reach beyond mere technique.

  • Contribution to Dance (1964-2019)
    VERONICA TENNANT, C.C. Contribution to DANCE in CANADA 1964-2018 During her illustrious career as Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, Veronica Tennant won a devoted following on the national and international stage as a dancer of versatility and dramatic power. At 18, the youngest Principal Dancer in the company 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 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. Her first, in Norman Campbell’s 1965 production of Romeo and Juliet won Le Prix Barthelmy in Monte Carlo. Veronica Tennant gave her farewell performances in 1989 – dancing her signature role in, Romeo and Juliet and in the Gala – A Passion For Dance – Celebrating the Tennant Magic.
