At The Dance Connection we teach the Cecchetti method of ballet in all of our ballet classes. The Cecchetti method is French based and is one of the main training techniques of classical ballet. The Cecchetti method is a graded system that develops and teaches students from basic ballet in Grade 1 all the way through professional levels.
For any of our dancers starting at the age of 8 who wish to focus more on ballet technique and want the ability to train on Pointe we offer graded Cecchetti classes on Tuesday nights. These classes do not learn a routine or participate in rectial, and instead meet each week with the goal of taking their Cecchetti exam to move up in the graded system. In order to take our graded Cecchetti classes you must gain prior approval from our staff. If this is something that interests your dancer at home please give us a call during our open registration hours every Tuesday night from 5pm-8pm to discuss with our staff.
