One of Denmark’s leading international ballet figures and choreographers Flemming Flindt has died in Sarasota, Florida following a short illness. He was 72.
Flindt was educated at Copenhagen’s Royal Ballet School and was appointed a solo dancer at the age of 21. He then went on to begin an international dancing career with the Paris Opera Ballet and the London Festival Ballet, returning to head the Danish Royal Ballet from 1966 to 1978.
