Edith Crosbie Clasper (October 12, 1894[1] – May 1984) was an English-born American dancer active on the vaudeville stage in the 1920s.

[5][6] She headlined on tours of the United States and Canada in the 1920s,[7][8] as the leader of Edith Clasper and Boys, a comedy dance act.

[9][10] She cautioned beginning dancers that "it is just downright hard work"[11] and advised them to "dance, not only with your heels, but with your head.

"[12] In 1920 she was stricken mid-performance with appendicitis in Madison, Wisconsin; her male assistants carried her off-stage and continued the act, while she took a train back to Chicago for medical attention.

[13] The Pacific Coast Musical Review reported in 1920 that Clasper "has every asset necessary to the successful dancer — appearance, youth, grace, abandon, and poetry.
