Dame Margaret Evelyn de Arias   DBE  ( née   Hookham ; 18 May 1919 – 21 February 1991), known by the stage name  Margot Fonteyn , was an English  ballerina . She spent her entire career as a dancer with  the Royal Ballet  (formerly the Sadler's Wells Theatre Company), eventually being appointed  prima ballerina assoluta  of the company by  Queen Elizabeth II . Beginning ballet lessons at the age of four, she studied in England and China, where her father was transferred for his work. Her training in Shanghai was with  Russian expatriate  dancer Georgy Goncharov, contributing to her continuing interest in Russian ballet. Returning to London at the age of 14, she was invited to join the  Vic-Wells Ballet School  by  Ninette de Valois . She succeeded  Alicia Markova  as  prima ballerina  of the company in 1935. The Vic-Wells  choreographer , Sir  Frederick Ashton , wrote numerous parts for Fonteyn and her partner,  Robert Helpmann , with whom she danced from the 1930s to the 1940s.
