ANNA PAVLOVA The theatre grew dark. The muxic began and the curtains parted dancers in glittering costumes came onto the stage. They performed the sleeping beauty- a dance about the beautiful princess and the prince who saved her from the spell of a wicked witch. In the audince was a little girl, her eyes wide and shining with excitement. Her mother had saved money for many months to bring her to the ballet. It was a special event and the little girl was enchanted with what she saw. The evening changed her life forever because she decided at the moment to become a dancer herself. It was the year 1889 and little Anna Pavlova, as she was called, was only eight years old. She did not know then that she would be a great dancer one day. For months afterwards, Anna begged her mother to allow her to learn ballet. She would dance round their home trying to imitate the steps an movements she had seen. But little Anna was too young to join the School of ballet. She had to wait for two more years before her dream could come true. But it was very hard work at the school. Dance pupils had to study all the subject that were taught in other schools, and also go to classes in ballet and drama. Little Anna did not care. She was learning to dance at last. Everyone could see that Anna had the gft of dance. She also worked very hard. Once, the Tsar, Nicholas, ll, came to watch the children dance. He was so pleased with Anna that he lifted her up and kissed her. Soon, people began to notice Anna that the children performed in school. Anna’s training ended after many years and she joined a theatre company as a dancer. She soon became the main dancer of the prima ballerina. Music composers began to compose music especially for her. One of her most famus dances was the one in which she performed the part of a dying swan Anna now began to tour the world. Newspaper reviews said that she danced like an angel. It is said that after one performance of the Dying Sawn in London, the audience was so amazed by the beauty of her dance that, when it ended, there was great silence in the theatre for a while. Then there was long and loud applause, so long, that it lasted fifteen minutes! For twenty years, Anna gave performances all over the world including China, India and Africa. The constant travel and long hours of practice began to tell on her health. While on a train journey from Holand, she caught a chill. Soon she became very ill and on 23 January 1931, Anna died at The Hague, capital of Holland. It was the night before she had to perform The Dying Swan in Brussels. But the show was not cancelled. All the other dancers in the troupe took their places as usual and danced their parts, but dancer replaced Anna. Instead the audience saw a shining spotlight. It moved across the stage, lighting the spaces where she would have danced. After the show, many in the audience broke down and wept. It was a fitting tribute to one of the most wonderful dancers the world had ever known.
