After joining what many consider Australia’s first modern dance company, the Bodenwieser Ballet, when she was 24, dance took Eileen Kramer around the world.

Last month Eileen chose to celebrate her 109th birthday by giving friends, relatives and admirers attending her party at the Sydney Dance Company in Dawes Point a dance lesson of sorts.
