Teaching the fine art of classical ballet since 1982
Ballet is a fine art and requires a strong basic foundation. The Cecchetti method is a graded system of classical ballet which takes the student from the first lesson to solo status. The exams provide them with an opportunity to perfect their technique and the satisfaction of knowing they have accomplished this goal. It is Les Cher Classical Ballet Academy's intent to provide this training through a progression of well-balanced technique classes. Primary 1 through 3 classes prepare students for the Grade I Cecchetti Syllabus. As the students progress, more intricate patterns are taught in both syllabus classes and non-syllabus classes to develop their minds along with their bodies. The repetition of syllabus is essential for muscle memory. Preparatory/pointe classes are introduced when the student is physically ready to continue throughout their training.
