June 26 marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of Russian and Soviet ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher Agrippina Vaganova. While still a little girl, Vaganova dreamed of dancing and dreamed of enrolling in a specialized school. Her parents did not interfere with her aspirations: studying at the Imperial Theater School provided full board for pupils from poor families. For ballet classes, Vaganova didn’t have natural inclinations - she used to work hard: she constantly honed her technique by studying the techniques of French and Italian ballet schools. However, Vaganova’s solo parts began to receive only towards the end of her career. In the dance environment, she became known primarily as an outstanding teacher, constantly improving teaching methods. Among her pupils are such famous ballerinas as Marina Semenova, Galina Ulanova, Tatyana Vecheslova.
