“A sound training, such as one receives through the method of Maestro Cecchetti, embodying as it does a complete and pure theory of movements, awakens within the dancer a response to any style he may be called upon to interpret.”

Frederick Ashton 1904 – 1988

“Steeped in rich history and traditions, the Cecchetti Method offers more than just “steps.” The comprehensive program builds a strong foundation of technique, body awareness, and strength. The examinations give students a goal to achieve and a sense of great accomplishment once that goal is reached. As a student, it gave me a solid foundation for my professional career.”

Melissa Penn-Graebert

“After attending the Teachers’ Summer Course, I took home so many things to my students: strategies, imageries, movement qualities and wonderful ways to teach the break down of steps.”

Theresa SillerFCCA

“The strength of technique and quality of movement taught in this method have prepared me for priceless opportunities to dance, teach and make a difference in young peoples lives.”

Kathy CookeDFCCA

“I am grateful for beginning my dance career with the Cecchetti Method because it embodies purity. The technique inherently provides an anatomical sense of balance that allowed me to easily transition into many styles of dance.”

Catrina Choate-Heretoiu
