Born in the Chicago suburb of Fullersburg, Illinois, Fuller began her theatrical career as a professional child actress and later choreographed and performed dances in burlesque (as a skirt dancer), vaudeville, and circus shows. Inspired by the early Free dance practitioners, Fuller developed her own natural movement and improvisation techniques.
