Certainly, Vaganova was seen by Balanchine.  It would have been difficult to see a performance of ballet in Petersburg without seeing her.  She wasn't known as the "Queen of Variations" for nothing.  She also had a reputation of being a real iron dancer, kind of like Lou Gehrig in American baseball.
