The Camargo Society was a London society which created and produced ballet between 1930 and 1933, giving opportunity to British musicians, choreographers, designers and dancers.[1]: 19 Its influence was disproportionate to its short life. Dame Ninette de Valois, founder of The Royal Ballet, saw it as "having done much for the cause of English ballet",[2]: 114 and Encyclopædia Britannica Online credits it with "keeping ballet alive in England during the early 1930s".[3] The society was named after the eighteenth-century French dancer Marie Anne de Cupis de Camargo.[4]
