Yes, Dancer.
That is great! Thank you.
I seem to remember being taken in the early 1950's to the Golders Green Hippodrome to see her as a dancer.

"My grandmother worked as the choreographer on the QE2 cruise liner and to give my mum a break, she would take me on these long Caribbean cruises with her."

Info on Samantha from previous article:
states her great-great-grandmother was Jessie Ryder, an actress in New York City in the early 1900s

modified:  Jessie Ryder was apparently a gr, gr, grmother on her father's side.

Editions of The Stage in 1970 and 1971, have mentions of dancing duo Sheila Holt and Ron Dillon as part of the line up of artistes on the QE2 and in 1967, one for the Sylvania cruise ship that mentions dancers Sheila Holt and partner.

Earlier editions of The Stage have numerous mentions of Sheila Holt, dancer, including a dance partner Tom Gillis.

There is also mention of a Sheila Holt in 1987 auditioning folk for cruising seasons and looking for girl dancers with singing experience, as well as similar entries in preceding years.She also seems to have choreographed some show in the 1970s.

You mentioned Golders Green in the 1950s and again, The Stage has various entries for Sheila Holt at a variety of locations, including as principal dancer in at least one show (there may be others - I haven't checked them all), at Golders Green

SCOTMUM,
thank you for all your research in 'The Stage'.  Very useful!
Are the archives of this publication available online or do you have a personal cache?
I do find this research difficult when theatre people keep swapping persona between a stage-name, a married name and a birthname.
