Today we celebrate the premiere of Ninette de Valois' ballet Checkmate on this day in 1937. It had quite a cast which included Margot Fonteyn, Frederick Ashton and Michael Somes. Here, reprising the roles originally danced by Pamela May and Robert Helpmann, are former Principal Jenna Roberts and First Soloist Jonathan Payn, filmed during a rehearsal in 2012. | Birmingham Royal Ballet

Dame Ninette de Valois, or 'Madam' as she was known, was the founder of both Royal Ballet Companies and the Royal Ballet School, so it goes without saying that she was an amazing choreographer and one of the most important figures in our history. Filmed in 2011, here is former Principal Iain Mackay rehearsing her 1937 ballet Checkmate, a glimpse into the very earliest days of British ballet.
