  • Another interesting fact: Hans Christian Andersen was born in the same year as Bournonville. He wanted to be a ballet dancer too. He went to the Royal Ballet school when he was 14. (bet he saw the handsome and already brilliant dancer Auguste there.) But he was hopeless as a dancer! (an ugly duckling. But a beautiful swan as a storyteller.)

  • Bournonville died in 1879. When Beck was 18 and Borchsenius 7! (both of them already dancing.)

  • It is fantastic to se this old piece of film. Thank you.

  • Amazing dance history!

    Thank you!
