Darcy Bussell is an English ballerina who has now retired. Born in 1969, she trained at London's presitigious Royal Ballet School before joining the Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet in 1987.
She went on to join the Royal Ballet and was appointed it's principal dancer in December 1989 at the age of just 20, the youngest ever principle ballerina to hold the post. She remained in this job for 17 years, also making guest appearances with other famous ballet companies including the New York, Kirov, Australian and Paris.
She retired as principle dancer from the Royal Ballet in 2006 and from dance altogether in June 2007, ending her career appearing in choreographer Kenneth MacMillan's modern production 'Song Of The Earth'. Her main reason was that she wanted to have children and has devoted much time since then to raising her daughters Phoebe and Zoe, although she remains very active in the world of dance in an administrative role, being President of the Royal Academy of Dance, Birmingham Royal Ballet's fundraising appeal (that's Birmingham ENGLAND, not Birmingham Alabama), and being on the board of the Margot Fonteyn Foundation. She is also patron of the International Dance Teacher's Association and the Sydney Dance Company, and currently appears on the judging panel of the popular BBC television dancing competition 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
