Virginia Myers

Virginia Myers (October 21, 1906 - January 4, 1975) was an American dancer who gained national recognition as a precocious talent during her childhood in New York in the 1910s and 1920s.

[1] Virginia Myers was first introduced to the New York public at the age of four when she performed her own solo improvisational dance to the "Morning Mood" section of Grieg's Peer Gynt suite.

It formed the 4-minute Prologue to a full evening of music, dance and story for a charity Benefit staged at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan on April 4, 1911.

[4] In the 11 years to follow, Virginia made fifteen dance appearances at various New York theaters, each time filling an entire afternoon or evening program with her own original dance interpretations of a wide range of musical works.

[3] Without formal dance training, professional choreography, or staging, she became a famous dancer in America and around the world during that era.
