Artistic and pedagogical activity of Anna Pavlova: Her contribution to the development of British classic choreography
Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate the role of Anna Pavlova in the formation of British ballet. The British were introduced to Pavlova’s unique artistry in 1910, when she was touring in London. Soon afterwards, she founded her dance school in London (1913). The article discusses the working conditions of Pavlova’s troupe performers, her teaching methods as well as those of her most talented students who afterwards founded their own schools of classical dance, spreading the Russian school of classical ballet in Great Britain.
