Cecchetti Council of America
The Cecchetti Council of America is an organization dedicated to maintaining the standards and method of ballet training established by Cav. Enrico Cecchetti. The organization uses his teachings and writings in a sequence of grades, carefully measured as to degree of difficulty and physical dev
elopment, and provides a system of accredited examinations to test the students proficiency within those grades. The Cecchetti method offers a teacher a completely balanced and analyzed system of theory and execution for the planned development of the student from the first lesson to solo status. In addition to the "set" exercises the Cecchetti teacher includes "unseen" steps in each lesson so that a student will learn to adapt quickly and easily to any pattern of steps or rhythm. There are eight grades, consisting of four children's grades and four professional grades (elementary, intermediate, advanced, diploma).
The Cecchetti Legacy
The tradition continues. The method developed by Maestro Enrico Cecchetti continues to flourish and survive the test of time. Cecchetti learned from the Maestros, expanded on the principles set forth by Carlo Blasis, and created an organized system for teachers.
