| Abstract | The Vaganova ballet technique is one of many styles of ballet practiced in the world, and it is quite influential in today's ballet landscape. The traditions and features of the Vaganova technique, which was conceived during a tumultuous time in history, have remained the same in some respects and also evolved to reflect and embody today's global politics and changing aesthetics. This research consists of multiple methods, including practice of this and other ballet techniques, analysis of multiple videos of ballet classes and performances, and secondary sources, including books and other written sources. This research concludes that the development of the Vaganova ballet technique has implications for the practice of ballet, as training within a national syllabus is very different from training without a syllabus. Furthermore, changes in ballet training have implications for society because ballet training can increase inclusivity and opportunity when certain common practices are examined and updated. |
