We appreciate your knowledge of Russian ballet! The John Cranko Schule is one of the most prestigious schools in the world, and while they are not strictly Vaganova based, they have their own voice and unique training style. The teacher, Galina Solovieva, is a graduate of the Vaganova Academy. You may enjoy this video of John Cranko Schule graduate Gabriel Figueredo from the YAGP 2019 NYC Finals, where he won the Grand Prix award: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3YiXWKYqynp5Y. He is now dancing with The Stuttgart Ballet.

[@MarijeK]

Oh, I disagree with you, Anna! Just the way they start that first plié, you can see they have learned to think of everything, their gaze, musicality, the dynamics of of their movements... Very original and stylish, not exactly how they do it at Vaganova, but lovely in it's own way.

[@littlebird2037]

Lovely dancers. (The music is completely uninspiring. I would go mad if I had to dance to that every day)
