    Anna Pavlova was born on 12 February 1881 in the Preobrazhensky Regiment hospital, Saint Petersburg, where her father served. Her mother came from a peasant family and worked as a laundress at the house of a Russian banker. Her father died when she was two years old, and as a child, Pavlova was regularly ill so at times was sent to live with her gr...

    Pavlova’s early years of training proved to be difficult. She had severely arched feet, thin ankles and long limbs which clashed with the ideal of the small and compact body that was preferred for ballerinas at the time. As a result, classical ballet didn’t come naturally to Pavlova and her fellow students taunted her with names such as ‘the broom’...

    Pavlova’s style was unconventional at best and ‘incorrect’ at worst: she frequently performed with bent knees, bad turnout, misplaced port de bras and incorrectly placed tours. However, this style was a hit with audiences since it harked back to the time of romantic ballet and the great ballerinas of old. She performed in ballets such as La Camargo...

    Pavlova continued to dance to great acclaim and was highly competitive. In 1912, she appeared in the first Royal Variety Performance.

She also used Ivy Hou...

    Pavlova left the Imperial Ballet in 1913 and formed her own company which allowed her to be the undisputed star. She believed it was her mission to share ballet with the masses and make it worldwide popular entertainment, so for the rest of her life became a kind of wandering art missionary. Her husband and manager, Victor Dandré, managed the tours...

    When travelling from Paris to The Hague, Pavlova became severely ill. By the time she had arrived at The Hague, she was so ill that she called for her personal physician. She was told that she had pneumonia and required an operation. However, by doing so, she would never be able to dance again. She refused to have the surgery, stating, “if I can’t ...

    Pavlova’s impact upon the ballet world is still felt today, with her famous dances and performance style being imitated by many. She is also the namesake for the Pavlova dessert, which, it is believed, was created in honour of the dancer during her tour of New Zealand and Australia. In 1980, famed Swiss artist Igor Carl Fabergé licenced a collectio...
