Vaganova method of classical ballet
The outdated ballet traditions of the early 1900’s led the ballerina Agrippina J. Vaganova to create her own system of classical dance. By combining elements of the French, Italian (Cecchetti) and Russian ballet schools, and developing them further, she reached a highly detailed theory of dance movement. Her book “The Principles of Classical Dance” became the most important handbook for ballet teachers and dancers worldwide.
The list of dancers trained in the Vaganova method reads like the “who is who” of ballet: Rudolf Nureyev, Irina Kolpakova, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Natalia Makarova, Yuri Soloviev, Altynai Asylmuratova, Diana Vishneva and Svetlana Zakharova.
Today, Vaganova is the chosen method by most full-time ballet schools as well as most professional companies around the world.
The Amanda Bollinger Dance Academy was the first Gold Coast classical ballet school to offer a Vaganova based program.
Ballet Conservatoire
Australian ballerina Christine Walsh AM, has developed the BC (formerly ACB, The Australian Conservatoire of Ballet) training and assessment program, adapting the original 8-year full-time Vaganova method, to become a 12-year program meeting the needs of classical ballet students unable to take full-time dance training from an early age. The BC syllabus emphasizes correct placement, dynamics and performing quality. The program also develops a professional attitude, which will assist them in the pursuit of a professional career, either as a dancer or teacher.
Amanda Bollinger is an accredited international examiner of the ACB since 2012 and has examined in Australia and abroad.
International Character Dance Syllabus
The International Character Dance Syllabus has been designed & written by Australia’s leading exponent of Character Dance, Alida Segal. Her experience began in 1970 with Madame Marina Berezowsky AM and continued while studying at the world-renowned Moiseyev School in Moscow.
This clear and concise training program takes students from basic concepts to professional standards in preparation for a career on the stage.
The course includes active physical practice of technique & movement, as well as information about music & rhythm. Elements of ethnology, physics and design are also involved. This results in a more holistic education & understanding of the development of dance styles.
