Margaret Dale edit

Admired ballerina with a mission to bring great dancing to the small screen

A respected dancer during the 1940s and early 50s, Margaret Dale, who has died aged 87, quit the stage at the height of her powers and took on a more significant role as the first television director who knew the world of ballet from the inside. Dale realised the potential of the new medium to capture dance. She developed a complex technique of ­presenting dance on the small screen in a way that gave artistic cohesion to a succession of varying-scale images, while retaining the emotional power inherent in the choreography.

From the mid-50s onwards, Dale televised much of what by then was the Royal Ballet's repertoire, in the process creating a priceless BBC TV archive of the dancers of that richly ­talented era. Later, she encouraged young ­choreographers, such as Kenneth ­MacMillan and John Cranko, to create ballets ­especially for TV. She also made valuable documentaries on leading figures in the dance world, notably her longtime supporter Ninette de Valois.

She was born Margaret Elisabeth Bolam into a middle-class family in Newcastle. She loved dancing from the start and was entertaining fellow ­customers in a local cafe at the age of three with her impromptu tangos among the tea tables. Trained locally by Nellie Potts, she was taken on by De Valois in 1936. After two years studying at De Valois's school, she became a member of what was then the Vic-Wells Ballet, later the Sadler's Wells Ballet and ultimately the Royal Ballet. For the next dozen years, she worked her way up through the company, choosing Dale as her stage name. She travelled widely, dancing many prominent roles; she was said to have sparkled as the Sugar Plum Fairy and charmed audiences with her Polka in Façade.

As a student, she danced in several pre-war TV productions at Alexandra Palace, north London, and her interest in the medium was rekindled after the war when she was invited by a pioneer producer, Naomi Capon, to help with the production of several televised ­ballets. In 1953, Dale choreographed for the stage The Great Detective, a ballet about Sherlock Holmes, starring ­MacMillan, but she was dissatisfied with the quality of her choreography. De Valois arranged an interview with George Barnes, then director of the fledgling BBC TV service, and Dale decided to take the risky step of leaving the company to join the BBC. She did a six-month training course (brief by the standards of the dance world) and then started on what, looking back, can be perceived as a self-assigned mission to bring great dancing to the small screen.

From the beginning, she proceeded on two fronts – making new works for TV while producing studio adaptations of existing ballets, mostly from the British repertoire but, as early as 1956, taking in the second act of the Bolshoi's Swan Lake. The legendary Russian ­company – in London with Galina Ulanova at its head – was the talk of the town and the BBC's live transmission was reportedly watched by an audience of more than 9 million. In those days, the outside broadcast teams were hampered by cumbersome cameras and lighting equipment, so justice could only be done to major dance works by bringing them into one of the BBC's west London studios – Riverside, Lime Grove and, from 1960, the Television Centre.

Coppélia (1957), Petrushka (1962) and La Fille Mal Gardée (1962) were other Dale highlights, the latter taped under Frederick Ashton's supervision with the original cast. Such was Dale's authority that by the early 60s, when videotaping was a reality, she pushed the BBC into signing a long-term agreement with the Royal Ballet to record nine of the company's best works. Colleagues would peep into the studio and watch the diminutive Dale telling "Fred" and "Madam" what was required by way of adjustment to their precious choreography in order to fit the small screen.

Monica Mason, then in the corps de ballet, remembers well "the excitement we felt at the opportunity of a complete change in our usual routine – several days in a TV studio being filmed from all angles by several ­cameras – all under the eagle eye of the very respected Margaret Dale, who was very demanding; we soon realised the importance of being exactly on the mark she'd given you. She did not suffer fools."

Dale brought another dancer turned choreographer, Peter Wright, into the BBC and used his experience as a ballet master in Stuttgart to create a stylised documentary called Ballet Class in 1964. That same year I remember a nervy meeting at the BBC when she tried to persuade Harold Pinter to write the ­storyline for a dance project she and the choreographer Peter Darrell had close to their hearts, a new TV ballet based on the music of Francis Poulenc's Les Biches. She wanted a sinister approach made up of gestures in the shadows, a meaningful glance here, a suppressed smile there. Pinter was polite but not attracted to this notion of a play without words. Fortunately the TV dramatist John Hopkins seized the opportunity instead, creating a minor masterpiece in black and white named Houseparty (1964).

With my encouragement as her departmental chief, Dale then embarked on what was intended to be a year-long series entitled Zodiac. Each of the star signs would provide the themes for an anthology of short ballets created for TV by some of the world's leading ­choreographers, all danced in the vast arena of Studio TC1 at BBC TV Centre. The set was as ambitious as Dale's creative agenda, but the grand project proved too problematic to sustain and it was cancelled after only a few editions.

Improved camera technology and the advent of colour TV enabled more sophisticated relays to be undertaken direct from Covent Garden and elsewhere, but such work was less involving and more frustrating as there was never enough rehearsal time to achieve the perfection Dale had always demanded in herself and her team of devoted design and stage ­management colleagues. The Dream (1967), Monotones (1968) and The Anatomy Lesson (1968) were taped, but she spent much of the next decade as a film-maker for Omnibus and BBC2.

After contributing a number of enjoyable documentaries about major dance figures, including Léonide ­Massine, Anna Pavlova and Gene Kelly, she bowed out in 1976 to become professor of dance in the faculty of fine arts at York University in Toronto, Canada. It was not a post she held for long, but she continued to lecture and teach in many parts of the world, and kept a link with the Royal Academy of Dancing.

After retirement she returned to London where, in her 80s, she was able to attend a substantial retrospective of her work organised at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank in 2007. She was also a welcome figure, helped by trusted carers after a debilitating stroke but seemingly indomitable in her wheelchair, at the 50th anniversary party of the Monitor arts programme, to which she had contributed.

She wed the dancer John Hart shortly after the second world war. They were married for 14 years and then divorced. A brother, Kenneth, predeceased her. Her sister, Elsa Bolam, survives her.
