What type of food did Anna Pavlova eat?
Anna Pavlova ate only pavlova and for most of her life was addicted to sugar. Around the 1930's her balet career fell into ruin as she gained too much weight to perform.
Did Anna Pavlova have much to do with inventing pointe shoes for classical ballet?
Fanny Bias was the first "recorded" ballerina to wear pointe shoes in Charles-Louis Didelot's ballet titled Flore et Zephire. Marie Taglioni then went on to make pointe a norm for all ballerinas. Her ballet shoes were flat shoes with a leather pointed toe. Anna Pavlova didn't actually invent the pointe shoe but she did add the leather sole to it to support her high arch. She is credited for making what is most similar to today's modern pointe shoe. I think at one time of her life she wore Capezios... not sure though.
How much do dancers weigh?
All dancers don't weigh the same, but they are usually very light (male dancers usually have to pick up the ballerinas, so the ballerinas are always very lightweight). The desired weight of a ballerina is 95-105 lbs. (:
How much do ballerinas weigh?
A "classic" body of a ballerina would have long, slender arms and legs; a small head; and a long neck. The height of the ballerina will determine her ideal weight. Most ballerinas are between 5'3" and 5'8", so the weight range is generally 85 pounds to 130 pounds depending on height and other factors such as muscle mass.
