Dancer, choreographer, artist and writer Eileen Kramer died peacefully last Friday (15 November) aged 110.
After training in the dance style known as Central European Expressionism in the 1940s, Kramer toured both nationally and internationally, going on to perform in the jazz bars of Paris and later working as an artists’ model in Paris and London. She also met jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald and comic actor Chico Marx and was taught the twist by Louis Armstrong.
