Talk:La Scala Theatre Ballet School

Add Vito Mazzeo in the school graduates. Currently is a soloist with The San Francisco Ballet

Teaching method
The article states that the Italian Method (Cecchetti?) is taught at the school, however almost all the teachers mentioned were trained in the Russian/Vaganova's method (even Amalia Colombini, who studied at the Scala, also spent three years in Saint Petersburg), except for the director who trained at the POB. What is the evidence for Italian method? Does anybody know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.231.167 (talk) 04:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Answer
I took the information straight from the school web site. I found that strange, because it is well know that A. M. Prina (former school director) studied Vaganova method in USSR, and I have a booklet by A.M Prina with the syllabus (taught in the 80s, I think) and it is basically Vaganova. Also, it is a well known fact in Italy among dancers that the ballet school syllabus has a heavy Russian influence. I'll check the web site again... Unless somebody has a publication with the current syllabus, we have only the web site to rely on. 173.206.248.52 (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
