Growing up Mathilde and Tamara were the dancers I dreamed of being like; to me, they were the cream of the crop, the best. my last dance I actually did was Kschessinskaya's version of The Pharaoh's Daughter, and I personally just love Tamara, she holds the distinction of being one of the founders of the Royal Academy of Dance.
So I really just threw them in there for funs sake. I do love Pavlova though
