Schools
Ballet schools mainly teach one of three methods. The Vaganova technique was developed by Agrippina Vaganova. It is primarily taught in Russian, European, and American schools. The Balachine method was developed by George Balanchine. The School of American Ballet and other American schools teach this method. The Cecchetti method was created by Enrico Cecchetti and is mainly taught in Europe.
Large professional ballet companies may found feeder schools to train dancers in the style of technique they prefer and to train dancers to audition for their company.
