Both Lloyd and Volkoff were interested in being the first artistic director of the company, but the organizers agreed that the only way to ensure an unbiased selection of dancers for the new ballet company was to hire an outsider. They chose British dancer and choreographer <a href="/wiki/Celia_Franca" title="Celia Franca">Celia Franca</a>, who had many connections within the dance community and had been to Canada only twice at that point, as artistic director.<sup id="cite_ref-Neufeld_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Neufeld-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg/220px-Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg/330px-Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg/440px-Copp%C3%A9lia_act_III_National_Ballet_of_Canada.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="467" /></a><figcaption>The National Ballet of Canada performing <a href="/wiki/Copp%C3%A9lia" title="Coppélia">Coppélia</a> in 1952.</figcaption></figure> <p>Franca at first showed little interest in heading this new company; she had refused similar invitations in <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a> and <a href="/wiki/South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a> and liked living in the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>.
