[5] She danced on the London stage, in An Autumn Idyll (1912),[6] Et pois bonsoir (1920), The Trojan Women (1920), Medea (1920), and L'enfant prodigue (1929).

[4][9] Among her students was Australian health advocate Thea Stanley Hughes, Canadian dancer Gweneth Lloyd,[10] actress and dancer Irene Mulvany-Gray[11] (and her sister Hilda Mulvany-Gray)[12] and dance educator Beatrice "Bice" Bellairs.

[13] She taught movement to actors at Constance Benson's studio, including a young John Gielgud.

In many of the arts and crafts, in the daily necessities of life, in labour, and in travel, the free, glorious, and rhythmic movement of the body has given place to the action of the machine.

[4] Her papers, including photographs and films, are in the National Resource Centre for Dance at the University of Surrey.
