Biography
Maria Danilova (1793-1810) was a Russian ballet dancer.
Biography
She enrolled in the St. Petersburg school at the age of eight. The trainer Charles-Louis Didelot took notice of her talent, and she made her first public appearance a year later. By the age of 15 she was dancing with Louis-Antoine Duport. Her dancing was described as "so light and elusive that it took the audience's breath away". Danilova had a fragile constitution and the stress of performance as well as a brief, unhappy affair with Duport took a toll on her health. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 17.
The Danilova crater on Venus is named in her honor.
