Timeline
She was awarded the OM (Order of Merit) in November 1992 for her services to Ballet.
She was awarded the Companion of Honour (CH) in the 1982 Queen's New Year Honours List for her services to ballet.
She was awarded the Royal Society's Albert Medal in 1964 for her services to dance.
She was awarded honorary degrees of LLD from the University of Aberdeen in 1958 in Scotland and the University of Sussex in 1975.
In 1955 she started a new ballet school in White Lodge, Richmond Park, Surrey. Away from the busy metropolis the Royal Ballet (as they had become) had a perfect home here.
She was awarded the Erasmus Prize from the Dutch government in 1954.
For all her work Ninette was created a Dame of the Order of the British Empire in 1951.
She was awarded Chevalier of the French Legion d'Honneur in 1950 by the French Government for her services to Ballet.
She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1947 King's New Year Honours List and the DBE (Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1951 King's New Year Honours List for her services to ballet.
She was also still an innovative choreograph such innovative works as Checkmate (1937). During the years of the second world war they toured extensively and became a major morale booster.
By 1934 the new theatre and ballet school were in full operation and they produced full length ballets such as Giselle and Copellia (featuring Alicia Markova). That year a young dancer may have been found in the ranks by the name of Margot Fonteyn. de Valois had realised from the beginning that the only way to make a truly British Ballet was to have a complete system in place from school to stage. She had developed what came to be known as the English Ballet style of narrative, lyrical ballet and this was taught in the school.
By the early 1930s she had, with the help of Lillian Bayliss, the director of The Old Vic that the theater needed it's own ballet company and school. With help from Lillian Bayliss, Madame (as she was known by her pupils), bought the old Sadler's Wells Theatre and opened her new Ballet School there. As well as starting the new theatre and ballet school she also found time to choreograph such works as The Rake's Pregress (based on the Hogarth prints) for the new company. She soon attracted quite a few talented people around her including the young Frederick Ashton.
By 1926 she opened her first school in London, called the Academy of Choreographic Arts.
Inspired by a perfromance of the Ballets Russes under Diaghilev, she joined them in 1923.
By the mid 1920's she was convinced that Britain needed and should be capable of producing it's own National Ballet and she set about working towards it with a single minded determination.
It has been rightly suggested that Dame Ninette de Valois is one of the most important women of the century. It was due to her drive and ambition that the modern English ballet was created. In that respect she changed history single handed. Born in Ireland, young Ninette (her stage name was her mother's suggestion) came to England aged 7 to study dance. At that time (1905) the only ballet seen in England was touring Russian or French companies.
