I thought it would be cool if we compiled a list of famous teachers at the Vaganova Academy, and their most prominent pupils. These are the ones I know off the top of my head:

Agrippina Vaganova: Natalia Dudinskaya, Irina Kolpakova, Galina Ulanova, Marina Semyonova, Olga Moiseyva, Alla Shelest, Alla Osipenko

Natalia Dudinskaya: Uliana Lopatkina, Anastasia Volchokova, Veronika Ivanova, Irina Zhelonkina

Inna Zubkovskaya: Altynai Asylmuratova, Veronika Part, Elvira Tarassova

Ninel Kurgapkina: Zhanna Ayupova

Ludmila Kovaleva: Diana Vishneva

Marina Vasileva: Yulia Makhalina, Olesia Novikova, Evgenia Obratsova, Victoria Tereshkina

Elena Evteyeva: Svetlana Zakharova, Daria Pavlenko (I believe they graduated the same year!)

Alexander Pushkin: Rudolf Nureyev, Yuri Soloviev

Anyone know of any more?

Although she never taught him, according to Valeri Panov's memoir, Vaganova discovered him just before she died, after Panov's mother wheedled him into being in a position to be discovered.

Off the top of my head -- didn't Baryshnikov study with Pushkin?

Now that I remember yes he did. I don't think Baryshnikov went to the Vaganova until he was 15, and Nureyev didn't enter the Vaganova until he was 17.

Baryshnikov was just turning 16, his birthday being at the end of January, when he joined Pushkin's class in 1964.

I might be mistaken, but I think Oleg Vinogradov was a Pushkin pupil, too.

It is very interesting to look at this list and see who studied under whom!

Who taught Sizova?

I believe that Natalia Kamkova taught her.

Irina Deplar was one of Vaganova's primary pupils before Vaganova died. In fact, Mrss Irina is one of my instructors, as well as her husband Vadim Fedotov and their daughter Katerina Fedotova. It's pretty awesome to know them personally, they've taught me so much!
