Happy Birthday, Cecchetti!

Enrico Cecchetti was born in a dressing room of a theatre in Rome on the 21st of June, 1850. Young Enrico's stage debut occurred as an infant in his father's arms.

The principal objective of the Cecchetti Method has always been to raise the quality of ballet teaching. This requires consistent attitudes of self-improvement and professional integrity on the part of each member teacher.

Today is a landmark in history.

Happy Birthday Maestro Enrico Cecchetti! 🩰

I see wonderful progression in my students who take exams!!

Why take ballet exams you ask?

Ballet exams are valuable for serious ballet students because they promote the development of strong technique, artistry, and quality of movement.
The examining process gives each student a goal to work towards and allows them to achieve it. It takes discipline to study theory and work hard in class to reach the technical requirements for each grade level. Achieving goals heightens self-esteem by allowing the dancer to graduate to the next level upon successful completion of the previous grade. The benefits of using a method which builds from one level to the next is important in developing a well-trained dancer.

The Cecchetti technique develops beautiful dancers! This is the technique we use at Grace City Dance!

The Cecchetti Method offers a teacher a completely balanced and analyzed system of theory and ex*****on.

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.
