At the heart of her talent was sudden and instant inspiration. More often than not she was improvising, and could not repeat the pattern of her dances despite requests from her masters and partners. Later, when Anna Pavlova started teaching, this gift seemed to be a great obstacle as her students couldn’t copy the movements that she herself didn’t remember.
In 1907, Pavlova made the next step towards her worldwide fame – she started going on tours abroad. Her first tour was to Europe. The ballerina later recalled the tour included performances in Riga, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Prague and Berlin, and everywhere her dancing was met with enthusiastic reception.
