Notice biographique

Alan Wilifred Lund was born on in 1923 in Toronto, Canada. He and his wife Blanche were famous dancers in Canada in the 1940’s and 50’s, and he is best known for his dance performances, directing, and choreography work. He began dance training at the age of seven in Toronto, and at age 13 he partnered with his future wife, Blanche Harris, who was 14. They later married and went to England in 1945 to perform in a navy dance production, “Meet the Navy.” It was in England that Blanche contracted polio, which nearly ended her dance career. She recovered, and went on, with Alan, to become the first CBC contract dancers. Alan was recognized with an Order of Canada on June 21 1982 for his contributions to dance in Canada. He died on July 1, 1992 in Toronto, Canada. Blanche Harris Lund was born in 1922 in Toronto, Canada. She also had a long career in dance and choreography. She retired to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
