====== To the best of my knowledge, these tapes are the most complete and accurate record of the details of this teaching program that I have ever seen. You have my wholehearted support in this project and my unconditional endorsement of the tape volumes produced. Letter from Galina Mezentseva, August 10, 1993, London, England ====== I have been teaching for thirty years but I like the exactness and the well thought out planning of what I have seen in these first videos. I eagerly await the remaining videos. Letter from Audrey Trojanowski, February 13, 1995, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, USA ====== I am thrilled with my video tapes. It is really a dream come true and I cannot thank you enough. Letter from Carol Purcell, April 7, 1995, New York, NY, USA ====== In London, I bought the 3 beginning level Video cassettes - e.e. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd classes. I find these cassettes really excellent...I would very much appreciate it if you can notify me when the Intermediate Level is available as I would like to purchase all 3 Intermediate Classes, as well as the Advanced Level when that too is released. Letter from Patrina Borrer, May 7, 1995, Castlecrag, Australia ====== Thank you again for the beautiful tapes - they bring tears of ecstasy! Your Vaganova tapes have been so helpful to my understanding of this training (method). Letter from Marcia Eder, July 14, 1995, Naples, Florida USA ====== This collection (of videos) is of such quality and format that I would highly recommend that they be considered for use as a video text for university ballet classes. There are none better that exemplify a complete codified system of ballet training from Elementary to Advanced Levels. Letter from Randall Newsom, Coordinator Comprehensive Dance Program, Northern Illinois University, April 5, 1995, DeKalb, Illinois, USA ====== Your Classical Ballet Lesson (End of Beginning Level) was wonderful. Galina Mezentseva is a beautiful classical dancer with the beautiful Kirov style...Your commentary was so clear...I should like to obtain your other videos (Intermediate and Advanced)...With many thanks. Letter/Fax from Anna Lendrum, March 1, 1994, Potters Bar, Hers., England ====== As I told you over the phone, so much confusion has already been resolved for me after working only three times with these tapes. I can see how one can develop in areas that were a total mystery to me before. I see light at the end of the tunnel. Letter from Valerie Wooton, September 30, 1996, Frederik, Maryland, USA ======= Thank you for the wonderful thing that you are doing for ballet with these videos! Letter from Mercedes Barnek, December 30, 2000, Red Bank, New Jersey, USA ====== I would like to congratulate you, Peggy, on the excellent video tapes you produced, so clearly demonstrating the Vaganova syllabus. I was really impressed by the clarity of the work of your own two dancers. They didn't look out of place even standing beside Galina Mezentseva at the barre! That is a real accomplishment as Galina is considered to be one of the purest examples of the tennants of the School. It is clear that you have applied the method in the proper order of introduction of the exercises, prot de bras, and pas, and enchainements. They are lucky indeed to have your methodical approach to the teaching method of the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet as practised in Saint-Petersburg. I expect to see good things coming from Texas with you passing on this knowledge. Keep up the good work. My students here were thrilled with the tape and immediately began working harder! Thanks for the hit of inspiration. E-Mail from Ian Robertson, Founder of the Vaganova Ballet Academy of North America (Canada), March 21, 1998, Vancouver, Canada |
