did they not have a harp? what a shame... beautiful dancing and port de bras from sarah lamb, though, what a pleasure to watch her develop as an artist!

the dancing is beautiful but the head gear is AWFUL!

@pepperscrue Anna Pavlova was jerky intentionally from what i understand. She wanted to look like she was fighting death rather than making the entire thing graceful and unrealistic. She was a very emotional dancer.
I love this, and i love the way it's evolved but Pavlova was much more of an actress :)

I think she has to be one of my favourite dancers of all time and I just love this song!

Is it just me or did she just forget to do the actual arm wing movement? I'm not saying you shoulde be flapping your arms non-stop in hysteria but still, it's one of those important, signature "details" (!) when dancing a swan, ie Maya Plisetskaya's rendition of this piece... it's quite a shame coz besides that it was actually quite beautiful
Typical American audience, unable to wait until the very last note is played and for the lights to dime before applauding. They cheat themselves out of a very theatrical and emotionally charged moment when they do that.

Maybe Pavlova's looks "jerky" as it was filmed in 1907!!!! It was stunning!
