The article focuses on the life and works of Marie Taglioni, a Romantic ballerina in Europe. In 1847, Taglioni left the stage and went to live in her villa in Lake Como, Italy, but she returned to the Paris Opéra to coach ballerina Emmy Livry in 1858. She also experienced offering small ballet classes to both children and adults in London, England, and one of her students was Australian author Margaret Rolfe.
