Kirsten Simone, a pioneering force in Danish ballet, became the Royal Danish Ballet's leading classical ballerina during the 1950s and '60s, significantly shaping its repertoire.
Simone not only excelled in the Danish ballet repertoire but was also one of the first Danish dancers to take on the full range of the international ballet repertoire.
Critics have noted that Simone was like the Danish Fonteyn, with a regal presence that helped her shine in both classical and dramatic ballet roles.
Under the mentorship of Vera Volkova, Simone was integral to a generation of Danish dancers that bridged traditional formats with international ballet techniques.
