Honorary Patron

H.H Princess Che’ Engku Chesterina
Born in Indonesia to Dutch/Chinese parents but grew up in the Netherlands, Chesterina moved to England to study ballet in 1956 at The Legat School under the tutelage of Madam Nadine Nicolaeva-Legat and excelled while in training, winning most dance competitions and a scholarship.
While working in Rogers and Hammerstein’s musical – “Flower Drum Song” in London’s West End, Sir Peter Wright discovered Chesterina’s exceptional talent and gave her the opportunity to appear at the Festival of Cork dancing to the part of Odette in Swan Lake. From there, it led her to a contract as one of the pioneer dancers with Stuttgart Ballet under John Cranko.
Chesterina retired from dancing in 1973 when she married into the Malaysian Royal Family.
H.H Princess Che`Engku Chesterina has kindly accepted Central School of Classical Ballet’s invitation to become its Honorary Patron.
