International Training

The Vaganova Training System

Emphasizes that all movement originates from the center of the body which ensures strong, powerful, reliable support with full artistic coloration of the steps. The principals of Agrippina Vaganova (1879-1951) system are the melding of perfect technical virtuosity with truthful expression and elegance, training that leads to technical and artistic freedom. Specific attention is given to epaulement (the cohesive turning of the shoulders, head and the upper body). The system aims to teach students to dance with their whole body in order to acquire a harmony of movements and a broadening of artistic expression. Dance students at most levels, and without any prior training in the Vaganova Training System will find that the process and application of training will be both rewarding and fulfilling given the level and care of our instruction.
