Biography

Caroline Wilhelmine Kellermann (1821–1881) was a Danish ballerina who danced at the Royal Danish Theatre under August Bournonville. She was a contemporary of Lucile Grahn-Young and Augusta Nielsen, both of whom were considered superior dancers and more attractive figures, but Kellermann excelled in roles requiring the use of mime such as Teresina in Napoli.
