Alan Carter joined the Vic-Wells Ballet in 1936. After war service with the RAF from 1941 to 1946, Carter returned to join Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet, then left the company to dance in the Powell and Pressburger 1948 film The Red Shoes, and was invited to form the St James’ Ballet by the Arts Council the same year, which he ran until the company’s closure in 1950.
