The Cecchetti International Classical Ballet is the association of Cecchetti Societies from the ISTD, USA, UK, Italy, Canada, Australia and South Africa and who work together to promote Cecchetti world wide.

 

The Cecchetti Classical Ballet method, is to carry a torch which has been burning for over a century. 

 

A tradition of lyrical beauty, classical line, musicality, finesse, attention to detail, warmth of spirit and the flame of dance - all the attributes necessary to make a good dancer. Add to this, intelligence and individuality, the qualities that make Maestro Cecchetti's exercises come alive and one has the makings of fireworks with which to spellbind the audience. 
 

And what is a professional dancer's task, but to carry the audience into a world of fantasy and magic." - Ann Wixley
