Happy Birthday Anna!

Anna Pavlova, that is.  This is a bit late, as her birthday was on January 31, but I will still commemorate it.  So here is her mini bio, written by moi.
Born in 1881, Pavlova was an amazing artist who really brought ballet to America.  She was accepted into the Imperial Ballet Academy in Russia at the age of 10.  Her favorite teacher was mentor Enrico Cecchetti, who helped her until her death in 1931.  Most know her by her famous, solo, the "Dying Swan".  She toured all over the world, including stages in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Prague, and Berlin. If you want to know more about her, go here.
