Marie Sallé
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie Sallé (1707–56) was a French dancer and choreographer known for her expressive, dramatic performances. As a choreographer she integrated music, costumes, and dance styles of her ballets with their themes, thereby anticipating the reforms made by choreographer Jean-Georges Noverre in the late 18th century.
Sallé studied with ballerina Françoise Prévost, who sponsored her debut in 1721 at the Paris Opéra. She was a rival of Marie Camargo, another student of Prévost, who also danced at the Paris Opéra.
