Answer

The Imperial Ballet School shaped Balanchine's early technique and standards. He was trained at the school from 1914 to 1924, and he absorbed the school's emphasis on precision, discipline, and virtuosity. The school also taught him a strict classical ballet technique, which he would later use to create his own unique style of dance.
