This is 1925 footage of Anna Pavlova dancing her signature ballet 'The Dying Swan'.

I just couldn't resist posting it though most of you must have seen it before!

  • @10soccerluvr1 if you didn't know about anna pavlova before watching that awful show, i don't know what to think of the world.

  • thumbs up if ur here cause abby lee miller mentioned her on dance moms;)

  • hi fivehundredfootlong - yes, technically Pavlova was somewhat limited (as Sir Frederick Ashton said too in the interview with Makarova) but the expressive power of her dancing makes you totally feel the meaning of the ballet - and i love that she breaks line for expressive purposes. great you love this footage too. cheers!
