RBS VS Vaganova Ballet Styles

Hey Everyone,

Vaganova vs. Cecchetti/English Method – What’s the Difference?

Have you ever wondered what method of ballet you’re actually training in? 🤔 You might be more Vaganova or Cechettii or something else! — or maybe you’ve never even thought about it!

As someone who trained at both the Royal Ballet School and the Vaganova Academy, Isabella had to make some serious adjustments — from technique and coordination to musicality and even how we name certain steps.

These are just a few of the most noticeable contrasts we experienced, but of course, there’s a whole world of nuance, especially when it comes to artistry, philosophy, and training style.
