Vagonova and Contemporary Summer Intensives in the US
“As dancers today are expected to perform a very diverse repertoire, we uphold Vaganova technique as the foundation for developing a multifaceted dancer prepared to embrace evolving expectations of leading companies worldwide.”
- Tadeusz Matacz, Director of John Cranko School, long-time leadership role jury panel at YAGP, juror at many renowned international competitions
The John Cranko School, the official school of Stuttgart Ballet, is renowned worldwide for its Vaganova technique training and preparing its students to excel in the classical, neoclassical, and contemporary ballet repertoire. Founded by John Cranko, it carries on the legacy of the transformative choreographer whose ballets are performed by leading professional companies throughout the United States and Europe.
The John Cranko School Summer Intensives in NY & CT offer a unique opportunity to train with its teachers outside Stuttgart, Germany.
