Madame Céleste (Anastasie Céleste desRousselles; 1810-1882). According to NancyReynolds, Celeste's "great popularity restedmainly on her eloquent performances inmelodrama, in which she was particularly notedfor her command of gesture." Althoughcriticized by Binney as a popular but not a"professional" dancer, Celeste, according toParmenia Migel, performed valiantly allthrough Europe and was "the most belovedperformer ever to tour the United States . . . andhad the distinction of being America's firstSylphide." One of the most famous episodes ofdance in 19th-century America, and the subjectof several satirical engravings, was when Celestewas presented to President Andrew Jackson inhis chambers for a private performance in 1836.References: Binney, English, no. 13; Reynolds,Nancy. “Madame Celeste,” Oxford, vol. 2.
