I don't imagine it can get much more complete than this. It covers every step in the Russian school of Classical Ballet, with detailed explanations and clear illustrations. For anyone who wants to practice or hone their skills, this is very useful. It also really makes one appreciate the strength and discipline behind the art. There's even a sample class at the end with musical accompaniment.

i think that whether you dance or simply want to study ballet, this is a really great, informative book!
but if you are looking to improve your form and presence this will definitely help.

Helps a lot during my russian classes. Also nice too see that so many years later my teacher follows the exact same principles. Often to the point where uses the same sentences as Vaganova.

Wonderful, Agrippina Vaganova was a genius!
