 She made her first appearance on the opening night (25 September) with a ''Pas de Variation'', followed by  a series of solo appearances over the course of the season, dancing virtually every evening. The dances were often simply billed as "A Dance", but on occasion it was also referred to more creatively as "A Fancy Dance" (3 and 7 October for example), a "Grand Pas Seul" (21 and 24 October, 2 and 11 November), a "Pas Seul" (28 October, 25 and 28 November, 2 December, 16 December),  "''Grand Scarf'', Pas Seul" (4 November), "Pas de Fleurs" (18 and 21 November), and so on. This continued in 1868 till the [[Theatre Royal]] burnt down on 16 January,after which the company moved to the less accommodating [[Commercial Exchange]] as venue and she is not mentioned again.
