The Dance Goes On Photography Exhibition

Elizabeth Twistington Higgins MBE was a classical ballet dancer at the height of her career in London’s West End when she was struck down by paralytic polio. Ironically, this was only months before the launch of the famous Salk Vaccine which virtually wiped out the disease. Totally immobilised, Elizabeth was confined to a wheelchair by day and slept in an iron lung by night – yet she filled her life with an incredible range of activities! Her truly remarkable life has been captured in an inspirational retrospective Exhibition of photographs by Graham Sergeant FRPS. Come and see how this former dancer triumphed over her affliction – and what The Duke of Edinburgh said about her in his Foreword to her biography.
