Dame Beryl Grey - 11 June 1927 鈥� 10 December 2022聽

The 私房tv直播 is saddened by the recent passing of Dame Beryl Grey, who, with her husband Dr Sven Svenson, had been a supporter of the osteopathic profession for many years.

We are particularly grateful for support provided via the Grey Svenson Bursary, which is awarded annually to a final year student at 私房tv直播 who has demonstrated particular promise. The bursary, which was established by Dame Beryl Grey following Dr Svenson鈥檚 death, has to date helped to support a number of聽students through their final year of studies.

Dame Beryl Grey CH DBE FRSA (n茅e Groom) was one of Britain鈥檚 most notable ballerinas of her generation. Following childhood training she joined Sadler鈥檚 Wells Ballet at 14 in 1941, becoming a principal dancer. She remained with the company during its transition to the Royal Ballet. Leaving in 1957 she joined the Bolshoi in Moscow, the first British ballerina to do so. Her trailblazing included being the first British Ballerina to perform in communist China in 1964.

Upon her retirement from performing Grey remained active in the professional dance world. She worked as Artistic Director with London Festival Ballet (now English National Ballet) through the late 1960s and 70s. Additionally she held positions with the Arts Educational School, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, vice-presidency of the Royal Academy of Dance, the presidency of the British Ballet Organisation and a directorship of the Royal Opera House.

In 1988 Beryl Grey became Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, DBE and later became a Companion of Honour (2017).

In 1950 she married Dr. Sven Gustav Svenson a British School of Osteopathy (now 私房tv直播) graduate. Although originally a GP, Svenson developed a lifelong passion for osteopathy, which contributed to his successful recovery from a diving accident. He treated patients including Elizabeth Taylor, Charlton Heston, and Bob Hope until he was 94, and died at the age of 100 in 2008.

In memory of her late husband Dame Grey established the Sven Svenson Bursary (now Grey Svenson Bursary) for undergraduate osteopaths at the 私房tv直播. Each year top students from the 私房tv直播鈥檚 undergraduate programmes would be invited to submit a short, written statement, and until recently Dame Grey would then personally interview the students before selecting the successful recipient.

Charles Hunt, Vice-Chancellor of the 私房tv直播 says: 鈥淏allet and osteopathy have many links, from the benefits of osteopathic treatment for performers to performers later turning to osteopathy as a second career. Dame Grey鈥檚 generosity to trainee osteopaths in memory of her husband has been deeply valued by the 私房tv直播 community. She will be sorely missed, and the 私房tv直播鈥檚 heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends and her son Ingvar.鈥�
