Hilde Holger (1905-2001), was an avante garde expressionist Viennese dancer who quickly made waves in the Secession and Hagenbund, as well as across Europe dancing in Gertrud Bodenwieser's company and her own. Teaching fascinated her unusually early, at the height of her solo career. But forced into exile in 1939 she lived in India, finally resettling ten years later in England.
