Pavlova Gavotte came from France
around 1913. The dance was introduced by ballet star Anna
Pavlova (Born Anna Matveyevna Pavlovna Pavlova in St. Petersburg
in 1881-1931) which she performed to the Paul
Linckes "Glow Worm" song previously used in Lew
Field's "Girl Behind the Counter." This dance, was not
her most famous piece but did become one of the more popular features
in her tours.
Pavlova
tried to create a series of Ballroom dances that could be mastered
by anyone in a very short period of time called the New Pavlova
Social Dances. In 1915 Pavlova introduced what was called the
"New Pavlova Gavotte" which was danced by Ivan Clustine
who was a priemere danseur at the Imperial Opera House in Moscow
and Pavlova.
