I'm wondering if this "Madame Rat" is a real, specific person. I couldn't find any reference to her online, other than this article (and mirrors) and another that perhaps draws from the same sources and only mentions "Madame Rat" (no first name) in relation to Rambert. I ask because one thing I discovered in my searches is that "rat" is a slang term for a child dancing student at the Paris Opéra Ballet school (see [1]). It's not much of a stretch to imagine that a female instructor for a group of such girls might be known as "Madame Rat", or that a particular long-time teacher might have acquired that nickname. Does anyone know if Madame Rat is a real person, and, if so, what her full name is? Or have access to the references cited in the article, where more might be learned?--ShelfSkewedTalk17:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rambert in her book Quicksilver (Polish edition) noticed this meaning of "les petits rats", but wrote that "Rat" is the real name. Anyway I think that Madame Rat isn't a notable person ;-). Gytha (talk) 09:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
