Ceccheti

Created by Italian ballet master Enrico Cecchetti.

“Cecchetti training is a rigorous method which pays careful attention to the laws of anatomy. It develops all of the qualities essential to the dancer: balance, poise, strength, elevation, elasticity, “ballon”, etc. It is classic in its purity and clear-cut style. The Cecchetti Council of America holds examinations in classical ballet for students and teachers who are training in the Cecchetti method.“ - Cecchetti Council of America definition.

It is a graded method, where students must pass the Cecchetti Exam to move to the next Cecchetti Grade Level.
