Clarissa Campbell (stage name: Saharet) performing one of her legendary high kicks.

Saharet was an Australian- born dancer who made her New York City debut in February 1897. She performed in vaudeville music houses as well as in Broadway productions, in the United Kingdom and in Europe, earning considerable fame and notoriety.
At the height of her fame, between 1905 and 1914, she appeared as herself in several short films.

Watch her dance Boléro in this clip from 1905 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=73A6q5…
Things start going at about the :50 mark - then the fluffy skirts fly!
