Style Matters
Should your students know their ABCs (Agrippina Vaganova, Bournonville and Cecchetti, that is), or focus on only one ballet technique? [...]about 30 years ago, there were firm do-not-cross lines drawn between the various ballet techniques. Even if they’ve received their training at the Kirov Academy, or School of American Ballet, or a school with Royal Academy of Dance examinations? “In my experience, those teachers are the keepers of the flame,” Jeffrey says.

Style Matters
Nowadays, ballet companies typically perform a potpourri of works by different choreographers, from different eras, drawing on many different techniques. As ballet companies move toward a more universal style, the best way dance teachers can prepare students for the diverse challenges they will face is with high-quality training -- no matter the style (or styles). Discussed are whether grounding students in a specific ballet technique will give them an edge, as well as the benefits of training that exposes students to a wider range of styles, versus training based in a single technique. In an accompanying sidebar, the six major ballet techniques are each briefly described--the Vaganova Method, Cecchetti Method, École Française, Royal Academy of Dance, Bournonville School, and the Balanchine Technique.
