Anna Pavlova’s mother was poor—Anna’s father had died when she was two years old. The child was accepted for training at the Imperial School of Ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1891, joined the Imperial Ballet in 1899, and became a prima ballerina in 1906. In 1909 she went to Paris on the historic tour of the Ballets Russes. After 1913 she danced independently with her own company throughout the world.
She kept secret her marriage to her manager, Victor Dandré. The pair never had children; however, in 1920, Pavlova founded a home for Russian refugee orphans in Paris.
Pavlova is most known for creating the role of The Dying Swan, a solo choreographed for her by Michel Fokine and became the most important ballerina of the 20th century.
