Pavlova

Fifty years after her death, Anna Pavlova is still considered one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century. This film is a tribute to the great ballerina and recreates those works which have made her immortal such as “The Dying Swan”, “Californian Poppy”, “The Dragonfly”, “Coppelia”, and many more. Performed by members of L’Ecole Superieure de Danse du Quebec and leading ballet dancers. Rated: G
