		Nadirov continues, "While we acknowledge the level of the eighteen schools throughout the country that teach the Vaganova method, our main concern is the misuse and misrepresentation of the name Vaganova and Kirov by persons not accredited or entitled to these terms as teachers or dancers, and who promote themselves using these names without authorization.

		As a dancer with the imperial Ballet, Vaganova was known as the "queen of variations", renowned for her jumps and batterie, although her lack of beauty meant that she did not receive the title of "ballerina" until 1915, the year before she retired.
		She is most remembered as a great teacher of generations of dancers, taking the best of the old imperial style - romantic plasticity allied with the Italian bravura - and blending it with a more athletic movement to form what became known as the Vaganova system.
		This method did not isolate one particular part of the body (ie: Cechetti method) but trained it into one harmonious musculature to give precise corrections for proper placement.
