When she was in her late twenties, she rose to fame for her work in La Sylphide, a ballet that had been created for her by her Choreographer father Filippo Taglioni.
She stirred controversy by performing in shorter-than-customary dance skirts; her less than scandalous aim was to better display her skill en pointe.
Her father was not the only performing Artist in the family: her mother, Sophie Karsten, was a famous ballet Dancer, and her brother, Paul Taglioni, also had an influential career as a Dancer and Choreographer. In addition, her grandparents, Christoffer Christian Karsten and Sophie Stebnowska, were both opera Singers.
