阿格里皮娜·瓦加诺娃
Agrippina Vaganova（瓦岗诺娃，1879–1951），她那个时代最伟大的俄罗斯教师。她毕业于圣彼得堡帝国芭蕾舞学校，在校期间师从 Ivanov、Vazem、Gerdt、Legat 等人。1897 年进入马林斯基剧院（Maryinski Theatre）的 corps de ballet（群舞），1915 年成为 ballerina（首席女演员）。1917 年离开舞台，全身心投入教学。1921 年成为列宁格勒国立芭蕾舞学校（原圣彼得堡帝国芭蕾舞学校）的教师，并开始发展日后闻名于世的「瓦岗诺娃体系」。1934 年出任列宁格勒舞蹈中专（Leningrad Choreographic Technicum）校长，并出版了教科书《古典芭蕾基础》（Fundamentals of the Classic Dance）。瓦岗诺娃的教学法已成为整个苏联编舞学派的基本教学法，至今仍由她的后继者们不断发展。
The greatest Russian teacher of her day (1879–1951). She was a graduate of the St. Petersburg Imperial Ballet School, where she studied under Ivanov, Vazem, Gerdt, Legat and others. She was accepted into the corps de ballet of the Maryinski Theatre in 1897 and became a ballerina in 1915. She left the stage in 1917 to devote herself to teaching. In 1921 she became a teacher at the Leningrad State Ballet School (formerly the Imperial Ballet School, St. Petersburg) and began developing the instructional system that later became known to the world as the Vaganova system. In 1934 she became head of the Leningrad Choreographic Technicum and published her textbook Fundamentals of the Classic Dance. Vaganova’s method has become the basic method of the entire Soviet choreographic school. This method is still being developed by Vaganova’s followers.
