We specialise in the Vaganova method, a scientifically based and physiologically sound methodology, which creates impeccable artistry, creativity and full awareness of mind and body.
The Vaganova Method is a ballet technique and training system created by the Russian dancer and pedagogue, Agrippina Vaganova. It fuses elements of the traditional French style within the romantic era and the dramatic soulfulness of the Russian character, with the athleticism and virtuosity of Italian technique.
This training system is designed to involve the whole body in every movement, with equal attention paid to the upper body, legs and feet. Vaganova believed that this approach increased consciousness of the body, thus creating a harmony of movement and greater expressive range.
