Gertude Hoffmann as Salome
Salome Dance (1908) is a ballet by Gertude Hoffmann (chor.).
Abstract
Based loosely on Oscar Wilde's play, Salomé, and on Richard Strauss's opera, Gertude Hoffmann's version of the Dance of the Seven Veils caused scandal at many theatre houses around the country. On several occasions her suggestive dance style in scant costumes would lead to her arrest by local police. Many other vaudeville dancers followed her path and were billed as "Salome dancers."
