Развитие на балета в америка в XX век. Анна Павловна Павлова.
Development of ballet in America in the 20th century. Anna Pavlovna Pavlova.

Summary/Abstract: In evaluating Pavlova’s significance for the American ballet two aspects stand out: the intangible quality, the legend, and the fact that from 1913 to 1925 hers was the only ballet organization regularly touring the country. Anna Pavlova is generally called “the greatest” dancer of our century but the truth is that she never allowed herself to be challenged as a mature artist. She generally avoided risking or exhausting her powers in parts in a large scope and she would not tolerate rivalry on the stage. There was no second ballerina of stature in her company and she changed her male partners whenever they threatened to become too successful in their own right- hence the long list of “former partners, ” including such distinguished names as Mikhail Mordkin (1880-1944), Adolph Bolm (1884-1951), Laurent Novikov (1888-1956) and Alehandre Volinine (1882-1955). Pavlova had a far reaching influence on the dance education in America; by her endless tours, she educated an audience.
