Tutor Jan Pianta
Dancers are carefully trained in the premier classical ballet method of Cecchetti Ballet where the ongoing development of grace, line, beauty and style are taught and encouraged. Annual Exams can be taken from 5 years of age, with students having the option of attending annual Master Classes and special Award Days with other experienced and trained Cecchetti ballet examiners and teachers. Cecchetti Ballet is renowned for producing beautiful dancers at the recreational level, from Pre-Primary to Advanced, preparing young dancers’ minds and bodies. Should dancers wish to go into full training the Cecchetti Method has an excellent proven record of producing quality dancers for this higher level. You can rest assure, that your child is in good hands, taking their daily classe in a caring, stimulate and supportive environment. (We have so many photos of students – just can’t place them on this website).
Within classical ballet training students can also learn demi character, lyrical and National Character (see National Character page).
