In a Vaganova based curriculum, the same order of exercises are taught at all levels, but as the skill level increases so does the difficulty of the exercises. The Vaganova method is practiced at the famed Kirov school in St. Petersburg, Russia, and at the world's leading ballet schools, including London's Royal Ballet, the National Ballet of Canada, and the Royal Swedish Ballet.
