  • This is the most emotional interpretation of the dying swan I have ever seen. Many dancers after Anna Pavlova added fluidity and beauty to this dance. Anna's swan is actually a dying swan. Her dancing is gorgeous but there is some awkwardness in the movements because she is fighting back the grips of death, which is never pretty or perfect. Anna was never afraid to expose her heart on the stage. It seems like she is not dancing, she is actually living it emotionally. Brilliant!

  • Beautiful dancing, it seems so strange to think the video is over 100 years old!

  • Just a small boring comment about the caption "Anna Pavlova in Dying Swan, The Kirov Ballet 1907"

    In 1907 the Theatre was named Mariinsky Theatre. The name "Kirov Theatre" was given to it only in 1934 (and was held untill 1992). Thus Anna Pavlova (1881 - 1931) never was in troupe of the Kirov Theatre, she was in Mariinsky Theatre. However this is the same Theatre.

  • This is really beautiful and because of the filming at the time looks almost ethereal. Love it! Oh and thank you to Christie (Chloe's Mom) on Dance Moms for mentioning this dancer Anna Pavlova, it's the reason I looked it up!

  • i came here through mr midnight. they say the dancer is anna, now i see its name.. its creeping me out >:D

  • @darlaandme47 her last words were "play the last measure very softly"

    she died holding the costume

  • @ilovepointeshoesxx

    so true too much flash sometimes.

  • "Master the technique then forget all about it, and dance with your heart"

    Anna Pavlova

  • @loveellify I hear her last words on her death bed were" Bring me my Swan Outfit".Guess she wanted to go out as gracefully as she danced.

  • what a privilege to see this heart wrenching intrepration of the DYing Swan. Superb

  • It's wonderful that her beautiful and heart-wrenching dance has been preserved through this video ^_^

  • its so moving and beautiful.
