Past medallists
Past winners of the Genée International Ballet Competition and The Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition
Many past winners of the Genée have become professional dancers with companies all over the world. For many, their careers have been long and varied as directors, artistic directors, ballet masters, teachers, administrators, dance critics, choreographers, TV producers and directors.
Held exclusively in London until 2001, the Genée (now The Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition) is staged around the world thanks to the efforts of our members.
