The Royal Ballet's Lauren Cuthbertson is Stunning in This New Video

March 22, 2017

Quick, who’s your favorite ballerina?

It’s nearly impossible to choose just one. If I was forced to narrow my list down to my top five, I’d have to include Royal Ballet principal Lauren Cuthbertson.

Not only is she the absolute picture of English refinement and classicism, she’s also one of the most down-to-earth ballerinas out there. And one look at her Instagram will convince you she’s hilarious, too.

In Portrait of a Dancer, a new video by Andrew Margetson, we get to see Cuthbertson almost fully recovered from a devastating foot injury she sustained in 2014. On her Instagram, she notes that she’d only been back in pointe shoes for a week (!) when this film was made. There are a few, very slight, wobbles, in her dancing but you can see her strength shine through.

Oh, and we are LIVING for that balance at the very end. How’s that for some weekend inspiration?
