The only authorized biography about the creator of the renowned
Russian ballet curriculum-for the first time in English. The first
English edition of the only authorized biography of Agrippina
Vaganova (1897-1951) was originally published in Russian in 1989.
It tells the story of one of the most important dance teachers of
the 20th century, who created a system of teaching ballet that
spread throughout the former Soviet Union and beyond. Vaganova rose
through the ranks to become a ballerina in the Imperial Ballet
during the last days of Tsarist Russia. After the Revolution of
1917, she became a teacher and transformed the St.
Petersburg/Leningrad School of Ballet into a premier institution.
She also served as the artistic director of the Kirov Theater.
Written by a direct eyewitness to many of the described incidents,
someone who knew Vaganova intimately, the biography is a window
into the personality and thinking of this great teacher. It vividly
recounts the training and individual styles of such world-renowned
ballerinas as Marina Semyonova, Natalia Dudinskaya, Galina Ulanova,
and Tatiana Vecheslova, and it offers a unique insight into the
world of classical ballet during the era of Tsarist Russia and the
early Soviet years.
