Anna Pavlova
Famous Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova was awarded a place at the St Petersburg Imperial Ballet School in 1891, aged just 10. Pavlova had to overcome significant physical challenges in her training, including thin ankles that needed extra support for pointe work. Even so, she became one of the principal dancers at the Imperial Russian Ballet and toured the world. She is remembered for her breakthrough role as the Dying Swan in Swan Lake, and it’s reported that Pavlova’s last words before succumbing to pneumonia in 1931 were, “Get my swan costume ready.”
