Description
An early 20th Century photo of two Russian dance superstars Michel Fokin (1880-1942) and Tamara Karsavina (1885-1978). Both were born in St. Petersberg, Russia, and attained stardom thru the Ballets Russes. Apparently, in real life, Fokin proposed marriage to Karsavina, who refused under the advice of her mother. This led to a strained professional relationship that lasted until the two parted ways. While Fokin became a world-renowned choreographer, Karsavina moved to England, where she helped founded The Royal Ballet.
