Answer 1

The ballerina you are referring to is Anna Pavlova. She was a Russian ballerina who became one of the most celebrated dancers of her time, particularly known for her portrayal of "The Dying Swan," which was choreographed by Michel Fokine. Pavlova's artistry and emotive performances helped popularize ballet around the world, and she went on to establish her own ballet company after her time with the Ballets Russes.
