Margaret Walker was a pharmacy student when the Ballets Russes companies came to Australia. She was inspired by them to take up dancing and spent the rest of her life as a dancer, teacher and advocate for dance. As a student she especially admired Irina Baronova. This photo, part of her personal archives, was one of many on sale in theatre foyers during the tours.
