Fanny Emily Mary Hooper, known as Minnie Hooper (1876 – 1964), was an Australian dance instructor and ballet mistress. She has been credited, with Jennie Brenan and Minnie Everett, with maintaining the high standard of Australian dance and ballet in the 1920s, between the reigns of Emilia Pasta and Anna Pavlova.[1] She had a long series of contracts with J. C. Williamson's and conducted classes at her dance studio on Pitt Street, Sydney.[2]
