I am trying to find information on my late friend Ludi Horenstein, A ballerina with the Ballet Roose quite some years ago.
I used to visit her up to the end of 2002, and heard she had passed away some time in 2003. Can anyone help me please, her stage name was Ludmila Mlada.

The following Archive might lead you to more information and might be willing to forward a letter to a family member. There are contact details for the archive including an email address.

"Ludmila Mlada/Ludi Horenstein Archive: Scrapbooks, photographs, music scores,
and vinyl records of an English dancer who danced with the Ballets Jooss and studied
with Sigurd Leeder. Accession listing available to view at the NRCD."

Also there was an obituary in The Dancing Times:

Obituary: Ludmila Mlada, Sheila McCarthy, Ronald Emblem
The Dancing Times, 2004, vol. 94, no. 1122, pg. 67

Thanks for your help, will try Dancing times first.

Dear David Smith,

I knew Ludmilla Mlada slightly through my late mother, Lilian Harmel , also a dancer. she continued to send me christmas cards regularly for years but they stopped one day so I realised she must have died. She is mentioned briefly in a book called 'Re-defining Dance history' by Alexandra Carter.

As indicated in the reply below, Her archive materials have been kept at the National Resource Centre for Dance at the University of Surrey, Guildford.
