Just Pinned to Viva: Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) was a Russian ballerina of the late 19th and early 20th century. She is widely regarded as one of the finest classical ballet dancers in history and was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. Pavlova is most recognized for the creation of the role The Dying Swan and, with her own company, became the first ballerina to tour around the world. She moved to London in 1912 and is photographed here in her garden http://bitly.com/1NbGhYW
