Margrethe Schall

Anna Margrethe Schall, (17 September 1775 – 24 November 1852), was a Danish ballerina.

Margrethe Schall was the daughter of the sailor Rasmus Schleuther and Anna Kirstine Mortensdatter.

She became a student in the theatre school of Det Kongelige Teater in Copenhagen in 1787.

She was not described as beautiful or technically skillful, but was rather admired for her expressfull mimique, which made her perfect for the style of the Galeotti Ballet, and for her swiftness, and she became known as a so-called "grotesque dancer", within comedy ballet.

Margrethe Schall was also known for her love relationship with Prime Minister Fredrik Julius Kaas.
