The Czarina means the wife of a Russian
tsar or Russian empress. It is often spelt as tsaritsa, czaritza,
tsarina and tsaritsa. It can also be used to state a level of a
performer such as the "Czarina of Dance."
The Czarina Waltz as a music goes back
to the 1880s however Anna
Pavlova and Max Rabinoff are said to have created and danced
the Czarina Waltz as a social dance around 1915, so maybe theirs
was an official version thru their choreography to said song or
maybe that it was dedicated to Feodorowna 'the Czarina of Russia'
which became popular do to Pavlova's popularity as a dancer at the
time or maybe it was dedicated to Pavlova as the 'Czarina of dance',
sorry but at the moment it is not clear. There were lessor known
Czarina named dances such as Polkas, Mazurkas, Schottische etc.
as well as older 'Czar' named dances such as the Czar Polka etc.
There was a dancer called Czarina "The
Clever Toe Dancer" who was popular around the 1900s.
The Czarina page is under construction at the moment.
There is some info to view, but we are just getting started on this
