^AB Vaganova student Natalia Dudinskaya described the method in this manner: “A single style, a single dance ‘handwriting,’ which manifests itself most clearly in the harmonious plasticity of movement and the expressiveness of the arms, in the responsive suppleness and at the same time the iron aplomb of the body, in the noble and natural placement of the head—these are the distinctive traits of the ‘Vaganova School.’” http://ow.ly/i/bEyxz
