Tamara Karsavina, Russian Prima Ballerina

Tamara Platonovna Karsavina (March 10, 1885 - May 26, 1978) was a Russian prima ballerina, renowned for her beauty. In 1894, after a rigorous examination, she was accepted at the Imperial Ballet School. At her mother's urging, she chose to graduate ahead of schedule in early 1902. After graduating Karsavina enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks, quickly becoming a leading ballerina with the Imperial Ballet. Shortly before 1910, she began spending time regularly in Paris to dance with the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. During her years with the company, she created many of her most famous roles in the ballets of Mikhail Fokine, including Petrushka and Le Spectre de la Rose. She left Russia in 1919 after the revolution, and moved to Paris, where she continued her association with the Ballets Russes as a leading ballerina. After settling in Britain at Hampstead in London, she began teaching ballet professionally and became recognized as one of the founders of modern British ballet. She assisted in the establishment of The Royal Ballet and was a founder member of the Royal Academy of Dance, which is now the world's largest dance-teaching organization. She died in 1978 at the age of 93. Bain News Service, undated.
