Anna Heinel
Anna Friederike Heinel (born October 4, 1753 in Bayreuth , † March 17, 1808 in Paris ) was a German dancer.
She studied with Lepy and Jean Georges Noverre , under whom she is said to have made her debut in Stuttgart in 1767, although her name is not mentioned in the official Stuttgart documents. In 1768 she went to Paris to the opera, where she was celebrated as the “Queen of Dance” ( La Reine de la danse ). Due to its excellent technique, it was serious competition for Gaetano Vestris . She is said to have invented the “pirouette à la seconde”. In 1772 she danced in London. In 1773 she returned to Paris, where she ended her argument with Vestris and danced until 1782. She even became his lover and had a son (Adolphe) from him in 1791. In 1792 she became Gaetano Vestris' wife.
Anna Friederike Heinel celebrated her great success in ballets by Noverre. In addition to her technique, her tragic expressiveness was also famous.
