Cecchetti

The Cecchetti Method is a disciplined system of ballet instruction designed with careful regard for the laws of anatomy. This allows for:

Complete embodiment of the essential qualities of a great dancer
An understanding and emphasis of body line
Superior balance and poise
Strength and elasticity of the muscles
Indispensable ability to adapt quickly and fluidly to all styles of choreography
The Cecchetti trained student is better able to absorb the basic principles which govern the art rather than the mere imitation of an individual’s teaching style.

The Cecchetti Method offers:

Set Syllabi for pre-school through professional levels
Student examinations
Certification examinations
Teacher training courses

Based on international standards, examinations are designed to give students and instructors of the Cecchetti Method a greater sense of purpose while insuring that each level has been successfully accomplished before progressing to the next.
