In 1934 she made her debut with her very own choreography at the Comédie-Française in Paris, but her real breakthrough came only in 1951, when she performed two solos, one in complete silence.
År 1934 debuterade hon med egen koreografi vid Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier i Paris, men det riktiga genombrottet kom först år 1951, då hon framförde två solon, varav ett i total tystnad.
