Dame Adeline Genee DBE (6 January 1878 - 23 April 1970) was a Danish/British ballet dancer. Anina Kirstina Margarete Petra Jensen was born in Arhus, Denmark. Her uncle, Alexandre Genee, gave her dancing lessons from the age of three. When she was eight, Alexandre and his wife, the former Antonia Zimmerman, adopted her. As well as changing her last name to Genee, she changed her first name to Adeline in honour of the Italian opera star Adelina Patti. Genee's debut was with her uncle's touring company at the age of ten in Oslo (at that time called Christiania). In 1895, she became the principal dancer at the Royal Opera House in Copenhagen. Subsequently, in 1896, she danced with the Berlin Court Opera Ballet and the Munich Opera Ballet. In 1897, she accepted a booking for six weeks in England. She gained such success that she stayed for ten years.
