101 classical dance lessons from the first through the eighth year of study with forty-eight lessons on pointe

Sample lesson plans for the 8-year program for the study of classical ballet, in the teaching method founded by Agrippina Vaganova and completed by her assistant, Vera Kostrovitskaya (the author). This is a valuable volume as it is the only authorized translation of Kostrovistkaya's work, and as such (unlike the other existing translation, "100 Lessons in Classical Ballet: The Eight-Year Program of Leningrad's Vaganova Choreographic School" published by Limelight Editions, which unfortunately contains many errors), it is the only true and accurate publication of this work in the English language. This book also includes a "bonus" lesson and pointe work, written by Kostrovitskaya especially for this translation.
