Even within Russian training, you’ll notice different traditions in the way port de bras is taught. For example, in the Moscow style, the arms are often broken down into separate stages, with a clear pause before continuing. In contrast, the Vaganova school emphasizes a seamless flow, where the arms travel through the positions without interruption, keeping the movement connected from beginning to end. That continuity is what creates the signature Vaganova elegance and unity of line. | Runqiao D
