Her name looms as a fountainhead of the dancer's art ; her curriculum is used in ballet schools throughout the Soviet Union, and such pupils as Nureyev, Makarova, and Baryshnikov have been trained in her method. In 'One Hundred Lessons in Classical Ballet', Vaganova's protégé, Vera Kostrovitskaya, expounds the precepts of her mentor's teaching and makes available in the West the entire eight-year curriculum currently taught at the Vaganova Choreographic Institute of Leningrad's Kirov Ballet. A program that upholds the highest classical standards in ballet education ; complete technical mastery at the barre, on the floor, and on pointes." -- Book Jacket ER -
