And perhaps the most popular modern dance pany in Britain is the Ballet Rambert. The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance pany which began in 1926. In the 60 s the pany lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the pany’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions. The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The pany became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art. Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success. The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (標新立異 ) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance pany in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern! 67. If a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she will go to .
