At an age when people like to retire, relax and go slow, Suzelle Poole is a bundle of energy even at 79! Like most professional ballerinas who believe that they are done by 30, Suzelle also thought at 26 that she has only a few more years of dancing left. However, even after seven decades of dancing, she is still on her toes.
Suzelle residing in Dallas, Texas is an inspiration for many young girls who want to become like her. Most ballerinas, including Suzelle herself, didn’t even imagine that she would continue to dance so long.
Even at 79, Suzelle doesn’t find dancing difficult and said that some people feel she dances even better. Suzelle who was born in London began dancing at the age of 7 and gradually traveled all around the world to perform. She does guest appearances even at this age with local dance companies. She doesn’t seem to have any plans to bid farewell to dance.
Suzelle says that her favorite ‘move’ is the ‘Dying Swan’ which is a solo ballet that puts the dancer on pointe (on the tip of toes) for almost three minutes. Suzelle does it effortlessly as she loves dancing. In order to share her joy of dancing, she started teaching at the Royal Ballet Dance Academy thus becoming an inspiration to local kids.
