A performance of Loïe Fuller's Serpentine Dance by an unknown dancer, colorized black and white film, circa 1890s.
Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), an American dancer, was a pioneer of modern dance and the inventor of the Serpentine Dance. To achieve the abstract colorful illuminated aesthetic of the Serpentine Dance, she collaborated with her partner (in work and in life) Gab Sorère (1870-1961), one of the rare (if not the only) feminine French art promoters, filmmakers, stage designers, mechanical innovators and choreographers of the Belle Époque (1871-1914). The two women made multiple films together, few of which survived.
It's unsure how many recordings of the Serpentine Dance from the time are actually performances of Loïe Fuller, or of dancers who followed in her footsteps, some maybe borrowing her name. A lot of the films we can find today of the Serpentine Dance were produced by the Edison Studios and the Lumière brothers, often featuring the dancer Annabelle Whitford.

DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.
