A saint who danced? Any who were ballerinas?

[Woodstock]

I was asked if there is a saint who was a ballerina. Do you know of any?

On the patron saints index, there is a small list of the patron saints of dancers.

However, I don’t think that any of them were ballerinas…

Was the Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity a dancer before she became a Carmelite Nun?

Certainly she was a gifted musician and very social - I imagine she’d have been to dances and enjoyed dancing.

While I don’t know for certain, I suspect John Paul the Great could do a mean polka back in the day.
