Josephine Sainte-Claire

Josephine Gabrielle Marcelle Meunier Sainte-Claire (20 April 1793 – after 1823) was a French ballerina.

She was born in Paris to Joseph Marcel Meunier Sainte-Claire and Julienne Buisson.

Marianne Ehrenström wrote about her: "M:lle Sainte-Claire was for a period of ten years the delight of the Stockholm audience.

She was particularly talented within her pantomime ability, by her pleasing figure and the gracious modesty of her dance.

"[1] She was first married to Alexandre Vedel, actor at the French Theater in Saint Petersburg; divorced in 1813 and remarried in 1821 to her colleague in the Swedish ballet, André Isidore Carey.
