Ballet Bebe

NZ ballet export Bebe Eversfield profiled in the Victoria Times. Now 78, Eversfield won a government scholarship to study at London’s prestigious Sadler’s Wells Company (now the Royal Ballet) and made her Albert Hall debut at age 14. She ran the School of Theatrical Arts in Victoria, Canada, for more than 30 years, and is now an advisor to Ballet Victoria. Said Wendy Vernon, vice-president of the Greater Victoria Danceworks Association, who last month honoured Eversfield’s contribution to the city: “She’s just a ball of fire.”
