Revered ballerina dies, 84
RIPAlastair Macaulay records the passing of Galina Samsova, principal of London Festival Ballet and artistic director of Scottish Ballet:
The singularly eloquent, heroic, valuable ballerina Galina Samsova, a Russian stylist in a British context, has died, aged eighty-four. Many will never have heard of her, but she left branding memories. She was the first dancer to flood my eyes with tears; she had the most breathtakingly supple back I have ever observed in live performance.
