marie anne de cupis de camargo -lrb- 15 april 1710 , brussels -- 28 april 1770 , paris -rrb- sometimes known simply as la camargo , was a french/belgian dancer .
the first woman to execute the `` entrechat quatre '' , camargo was also responsible for two innovations in ballet as she was the first dancer to wear slippers instead of heeled shoes , and she was the first female to wear the short calf-length ballet skirt and the now standardized ballet tights .
