Katie Seymour

Katie Seymour (9 January 1870 – 7 September 1903) was a British Victorian burlesque and Edwardian musical comedy entertainer who was remembered primarily for her dancing.

She was considered, if not the first, one of the first to perform a style of dance called the skirt dance.

Seymour began in song and dance routines at a very young age and would go on to appear in a string of highly successful long-running musicals staged at London's Gaiety Theatre during the 1890s.

She fell ill in 1903 while on a theatrical tour of British South Africa and died not long after her return voyage home.
