Graham Usher (dancer)
Ballet dancer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham Usher (1938–1975) was a ballet dancer with the Royal Ballet.
Usher appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 16 May 1970.[1]
He was forced to retire early in 1970 due to fainting fits. He died suddenly at the age of 36 in February 1975.[2]
Jeffery Taylor subsequently described him as:[3]
"one of the sweetest, most gentle natured beings I have ever met [with] extravagantly arched feet, high arabesque and fluidly graceful arm movements."
