Classes of Oboukhoff, Vladimiroff, Doubrovska and Williams

When Pierre Vladimiroff walked into the studio to teach I had the feeling that although he was there in body, his mind and heart were in a studio at the Maryinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.  He had been a good looking, brilliant dancer, technician, and a true star.  His memories were always a part of his teaching. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1893 and joined the Maryinsky in 1911.  He was made première danseur in 1915.  He joined Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes in 1921 in Paris and replaced Nijinsky in several roles.  From 1928 to 1931 he was Anna Pavlova’s partner.  Vladimiroff and his wife Felia Doubrovska came to America and he taught at SAB from 1934 to 1967. He died in 1970.

I remember a middle-aged, elegant, tall gentleman with piercing blue eyes.  He was balding with hair slicked back a la Fred Astaire.  He was impeccably groomed in a short-sleeved, soft-hued shirt with an open collar and pale blue or gray trousers and wore soft character shoes.

He came and went very quietly, seldom stopping to chat with his fellow Russians and he never raised his voice in class.  If something angered him you would see it in his eyes.  There were times during class when a step would remind him of a ballet he had danced and he would tell us how “At Maryinsky I cross whole stage in one grand jeté”.  Other times he would tell us about his triple tours or dancing with Pavlova in Les Sylphides.

Vladimiroff spoke little English so we received very few corrections. I feel that we rarely met his standards but when he was pleased he would say “Easier for you now, yes?”

Vladimiroff’s vision of how ballet should be danced lay in his combinations.  He must have given his classes a great deal of thought because his steps were perfect for training the dancer in how to move fluidly and without undue tension.  He was undoubtedly influenced by Fokine and the roles he had danced.  He liked the music of Chopin, Schumann, and Schubert.  If a pianist chose to play something that was not to his liking he would tiptoe over to the piano and quietly demand “For me, Chopin.”  His favorite pianist, Donald Pippin did manage to get Vladimiroff to tolerate Scarlatti and Bach. He often gave steps from his favorite ballets such as Spectre de la Rose and these would have us flying around the room in wondrous, large jumps.  His grand allegro was pure dance joy!

By the time I studied with Vladimiroff he did not demonstrate full out, actually none of our teachers did, so that it took a bit of observation to capture what it was that he was showing us.  As one observed his port de bras, timing, placement, and musicality, it became apparent that his body was moving with great musicality and ease.  What he was after was a soft demi-plié, fluid transitions from one side of the body to the other, and movement without tension.  The placement must be very far over the supporting leg with ultimate stretch up and out with the upper body and arms.

He taught us that the preparation and the step are all one, and he was ahead of his time with very large fourth positions with back leg straight and front arm extended forward slightly below the waist with a straight elbow and flexed wrist for pirouettes.  It is much easier to dance when one considers movement as coiling and uncoiling with a sense of circular continuity.  Vladimiroff stressed that even when balancing in a given pose there must be inner breath and vibration. 

Vladimiroff’s classes are pure dance and a joy to perform.  The fluidity and construction of the combinations make for invisible transitions and it is precisely this that makes his classes so valuable.
