Russian women photos : A Russian ballerina in the training room
She lived most of her life on trains and in hotels. Toward the end she had to compromise by cutting difficult sections
and performing only the less demanding pieces. One of her methods for conserving stamina was to modify her pointe shoe
to make it easier to balance. It was considered cheating at the time, but actually it was the first modern pointe shoe
and no ballerina today would even attempt toe-work without its equivalent. Pavlova took soft pointe shoes that were too big,
inserted a piece of leather under the metatarsal for support and pounded down the platform to make it bigger and flatter.
