BALLERINA NERINA DEAD AT 80
Ballerina NADIA NERINA has died at her home on the French Riviera. She was 80.
The revered dancer was one of the leading ballet figures of the 1950s and 1960s, when she starred in a series of productions at London’s Sadler’s Wells theatre.
Her beauty and talents inspired choreographer Frederick Ashton to create La Fille Mal Gardee.
Nerina was born Nadine Judd in South Africa and took up ballet as a child to strengthen her feet. She initially danced under the name Nadine Moore.
She danced with the Kirov Ballet and Bolshoi Ballet before retiring to France with her banker husband in the late 1960s.
