Meta Vidmar, (born Metoda Vidmar,[1] 15 May 1899, Ljubljana - 1 November 1975, Ljubljana) was the first Slovene modern dancer, notable for the establishment of the 1930 Ljubljana Mary Wigman dance school, the first school of modern dance in Slovenia.[2]

Life

Meta Vidmar was sister of later literary critic and politician Josip Vidmar, a chess master Milan Vidmar, and a Yugoslavia team coach for Olympic games in London in 1948 Stane Vidmar,[3] and a twin sister of later publisher Ciril Vidmar.[4]

In 1927, she graduated from the dance school in Dresden, established and led by the Mary Wigman, with whom she spent seven years and who gave her a license to open the dance school in her name in Slovenia.

In her school in Ljubljana were educated the first Slovene dancers and teachers of modern dance, such as Marta Paulin, Živa Kraigher, and Marija Vogelnik, who have then educated the next generation of contemporary dancers in Slovenia after the World War II.[5][6]
