An equal if different force, as compared to Diaghilev's, in the rapid growth of ballet durring the early 20th century, was that exert by Anna Paviova. A student at Maryinsky, Pavlova's talent was evident long before graduation. Frail and slim with exquisitely formed legs and feet, she embodied the antithesis of the muscularly powerful, turn-of-the-century Russian ballerina. Her teachers, principally Gerdt, Johansson, Vazerm, and Cecchetti, recognized her unique gifts and were jointly instrumental in developing her artisttry. Instead of allowing her to complete with the athletic feats her contemporaries, they encouraged her delicacy, lightness, and natural grace. Pavlova's highly personal style marked a revival of the appreciation of qualities made so famous by Taglioi, whose artistic heir she came to be

That's very lovely. What about this reburial thing? I am finding plenty of news articles on line saying that the reburial was held up in March 2001 because they couldn't find any documentation that she wanted to be buried in Russia. Also, it says her family in Russia opposed it, the idea being that she'd made it clear that England was her adoptive country. This is what happens when you don't make out a will. Has she actually been reburied at Novodevichy, or is there still a holdup on that? If so, what date (year) was it? --Bluejay Young 04:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Soon I shall improve this article. So much important history is left out - Pavlova's work with the Imperial Ballet, and her tours. She hardly danced with the Ballet Russe.
