The most-celebrated ballerina of her time Anna Pavlovana Pavlova (12 February 1881 – 23 January 1931) was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. Pavlova is most recognized for her creation of the performance of "The Dying Swan" and, with her own company, became the first ballerina to tour around the world, including South America, India, and Australia.

"The Dying Swan" (originally "The Swan") is a solo dance choreographed by Mikhail Fokine to Camille Saint-Saëns's Le Cygne (The Swan) from Le Carnaval des Animaux (The Carnival of the Animals) was an artistic work produced for a special event for the ballerina Anna Pavlova, who performed it about 4,000 times. The short ballet (4 minutes) follows the last moments in the life of a swan and was first presented in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1905. The ballet has since influenced modern interpretations of Odette in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and has inspired non-traditional interpretations as well as various adaptations.
