Chinita Ullmann (March 14, 1904 – May 30, 1977), sometimes seen as Chinita Ullman, was a Brazilian dancer, born Frieda Ullmann. "Modern dance was largely introduced to Brazil by Chinita Ullman," notes The Oxford Dictionary of Dance.[1]
Frieda Ullmann was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the daughter of Emil Paul Friedrich Ullmann and Wanda Wilhelmine Heuser Ullmann. Her father was an immigrant to Brazil from Breslau, Silesia; her maternal grandparents were also German-speaking immigrants to Brazil. Frieda Ullmann took an interest in modern dance, and went to Dresden to study with Mary Wigman.[2][3][4]
