Agrippina Vaganova: Agrippina Yakovlevna Vaganova (Russian: Агриппина Яковлевна Ваганова ; 26 June 1879 – 5 November 1951) was a Russian ballet teacher who developed the Vaganova method – the technique which derived from the teaching methods of the old "Imperial Ballet School" (today the "Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet") under the "Premier Maître de Ballet" Marius Petipa throughout the mid to late 19th century, though mostly throughout the 1880s and 1890s.  It was Vaganova who perfected and cultivated this form of teaching the art of classical ballet into a workable syllabus.  Her "Fundamentals of the Classical Dance" (1934) remains a standard textbook for the instruction of ballet technique.  Her technique is one of the most popular techniques today.

Ballet (music): Ballet as a music form progressed from simply a complement to dance, to a concrete compositional form that often had as much value as the dance that went along with it.  The dance form, originating in France during the 17th century, began as a theatrical dance.  It was not until the 19th century that ballet gained status as a “classical” form.  In ballet, the terms ‘classical’ and ‘romantic’ are chronologically reversed from musical usage.  Thus, the 19th century classical period in ballet coincided with the 19th century Romantic era in Music.  Ballet music composers from the 17th–19th centuries, including the likes of Jean-Baptiste Lully and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, were predominantly in France and Russia.  Yet with the increased international notoriety seen in Tchaikovsky’s lifetime, ballet music composition and ballet in general spread across the western world.
