Lauren Cuthbertson was born in Devon in 1984. She began studying dance at a local dance school run by Pamela De Waal (now the Buckingham Dance Studios in Paignton), becoming focused on classical ballet when she was offered a place on the Royal Ballet School's Junior Associate Programme. As a junior associate, she took part in weekly classes based on the Royal Ballet School training system. These are held in major cities throughout the UK, for young dancers who show a particular aptitude for ballet.
Cuthbertson later auditioned successfully for a permanent place at the Royal Ballet School based at White Lodge, Richmond Park. She attended the school from the age of 11-16 and was then offered a place to further her training at the upper school. Skipping 2nd year, she went straight into the 3rd year and graduated at age 17.[1]
Career
She joined The Royal Ballet in February 2002, as a member of the corps de ballet. She was promoted to soloist in September 2003, first soloist in September 2006 and then principal in June 2008.[2] The position of principal is the highest rank in the ballet company and identifies her as one of the leading dancers.[3]
In 2011, the Royal Ballet premiered its first new full-length ballet in 16 years, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Cuthbertson originated the title role of Alice in the ballet, to acclaim from dance critics.[4] In 2014, she originated the role of Queen Hermione in a second full-length ballet, The Winter's Tale.[4]
Personal life
In June 2020, Cuthbertson announced on Instagram that she was expecting her first child.[5] On 29th December 2020, Cuthbertson reported that she had given birth to a daughter named Peggy. [6]
