Caca is the difrence.
Write to the Kirov Ballet School in Russia. The Syllabus was invented there and is still taught there. --------- Agrippina Vaganova, the creator of the Vaganova (Russian) method, has a book; in the US it is called Basic Principles of Classical Ballet. In this book, she explains every single movement in detail which is exactly what the Vaganova method is known for - precision. There are pictures for everything. It is a wonderful resource, the best book on ballet technique, I think. You should also take a look at 100 Lessons in Classical Ballet: The Eight-Year Program of Leningrad's Vaganova Choreographic School. This will provide you with actual classes for each year, and there is a section in the back with music accompaniment notes.
