In 1998, Vanity Fair asked me to write a big piece for them on the 50th anniversary of the New York City Ballet.

It was very scary, writing about something I loved so much and had such strong opinions about.

The first time the Kirov ballet was seen in America was on Sept. 11, 1961. The ballet was 'Swan Lake.' The ballerina was Inna Zubkovskaya. The place was the old Met, on what must have been one of the hottest nights of the year, and there was no air-conditioning.

I think of the New York City Ballet as the Yankees without George Steinbrenner.

Fonteyn was our first proper British ballerina, and from the moment I started dancing, her image engulfed me. In my first year at the Royal Ballet School, Margot's statue was outside my dormitory. Like generations of budding ballet dancers before me, I used to touch her middle finger for luck.
