Marie-Madeleine Guimard
Marie-Madeleine Guimard (27 December 1743,〔Born and baptised the same day, according to her baptismal record reported in Edmond de Goncourt, ''La Guimard: d'après les registres des menus-plaisirs, de la bibliothèque de l'Opéra, etc'' (Paris, 1893) p. 5. Goncourt's life is the source for virtually all the modern references.〕 Paris — 4 May 1816) was a French ballerina who dominated the Parisian stage during the reign of Louis XVI.〔P. Migel, ''The Ballerinas, from the Court of Louis XIV to Pavlova'', 1972.〕 For twenty-five years she was the star of the Paris Opera. She made herself even more famous by her love affairs, especially by her long liaison with the Prince of Soubise. According to Edmond de Goncourt, when d'Alembert was asked why dancers like La Guimard made such prodigious fortunes, when singers did not, he responded, "It is a necessary consequence of the laws of motion".〔Edmond de Goncourt 1893, preface.〕
==Characteristics of her dancing==
Not known for hazarding the more difficult movements that were being added to the professional repertory of ballet, she was renowned for her perfectly composed and fluid aristocratic movements, her mime and above all for her expressively smiling visage. She wore her skirt hitched up to reveal an underskirt, without hoops or paniers, held out simply by a starched muslin petticoat.〔Judith Chazin-Bennahum, ''The Lure of Perfection: fashion and Ballet, 1780-1830'', (New York: Routledge), 2005.〕 The portrait painter Mme Vigée-Lebrun said, "her dancing was but a sketch; she made only ''petits pas'', simple steps, but with movements so graceful that the public preferred her to every other dancer."〔Quoted by Goncourt 1893, p.2 note 1.〕 Other dancers, like Jean-Georges Noverre, praised her enthusiastically, but Sophie Arnould, who thought that she had more graceful gesture than true dancing talent, remarked, after a piece of scenery fell and broke her arm in January 1766, after which she continued to make public appearances gamely, her arm in a sling, "Poor Guimard! if she had only broken a leg! that would not have kept her from dancing."〔Goncourt 1893, p. 33 note 2.〕
