Margaret Craske (1892 1990) was a British ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher of ballet. She was a pupil and disciple of Enrico Cecchetti. When Cecchetti retired to Italy in 1923 she took over teaching at his studio in West Street, London. She taught and developed the Cecchetti method in England and later in the United States, teaching, first at the American Ballet Theatre. From 1950 she taught at the Metropolitan Opera Ballet School, and from 1968 until 1983 at the Manhattan School of Dance. Her pupils include many of the most important names in ballet in the English-speaking world, including Sir Frederick Ashton, Dame Margot Fonteyn, Sir Robert Helpmann, Cyril Beaumont, and Antony Tudor. Friderica Derra de Moroda MBE (1897 1978) was a British dancer, choreographer and dance teacher of Greek and Hungarian descent. From 1914, she was in England and founded her first own dance school in London. From 1918 she took lessons from Enrico Cecchetti for four years and then performed for the first time in Salzburg in 1923. In 1936, she became a British national. In 1941, she took over the direction and artistic responsibility of the ballet of the National Socialist cultural organization Kraft durch Freude in Berlin, which toured regularly until 1944. De Moroda was interned as a British citizen in a camp at Lake Constance towards the end of the war. After the death of her sister, Minka, in December 1950, de Moroda inherited the Villa Schmederer [de] and, in 1952, she established there a ballet school, which she ran until 1967 and which was attended above all by the members of the ballet from the Salzburger Landestheater, but also by the later solo dancer Margot Werner. From 1960 onward, she devoted herself increasingly to dance research and built up an extensive library of dance-specific literature. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 144 pages.…
