When the French Du Londel theater was dissolved by king Gustav III of Sweden after his succession to the throne in 1771, many of its ballet dancers where transferred to the newly founded Royal Swedish Ballet, as was Charlotte Slottsberg, her mother and aunts. At the foundation of the Royal Swedish Ballet and the Royal Swedish Opera, there where initially few trained native performers, particularly in the ballet, and foreign artists mainly from France and Italy where engaged to educate the first generation of Swedish ballet dancers, often consisting of the children of musicians and members of the domestic staff of the royal court: in the first ballet of 1773, Charlotte Slottsberg and Magdalena Lundblad are noted to have belonged to the minority of already trained native dancers.
