The principles of Vaganova’s system are presented in this well known book. Her ability to choose the best of what had been accomplished in the various ballet traditions (French, Italian and Russian) and combine these into a unified teaching practice in itself amounted to a new school of dance.
Her book discusses all basic principles of ballet, grouping movements by fundamental types. Chapters cover battements, rotary movements of the legs, the arms, poses of the classical dance, connecting and auxiliary movements, jumps, beats, point work, and turns, as well as material for a sample lesson.
Diagrams show clearly the exact foot, leg, arm and body positions for the proper execution of many steps and movements.
