The Vaganova Method

ICMQatar ballet instructors adapt the Vaganova Method, which is famous worldwide for its graceful movements and postures. This training system is crafted to involve the entire body in every movement, while giving equal attention to upper body, legs and feet. Agrippina Vaganova, the mastermind behind the technique, believed that this co-ordination of the whole body results in increased consciousness, thereby creating a harmony of movement and greater expressive range.

The steps in Vaganova’s syllabus are built on a carefully developed progression in which the basic and preparatory forms are practiced and mastered before moving to the advanced forms. It is like building a strong foundation and prepping the body for the difficult forms. It is noteworthy that this method requires dedicated hard-work and time.
