"To commence one’s study of the Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet says a great deal about one’s desire to become the best dancer and/or teacher possible. A well trained dancer in this work has a depth of knowledge that goes beyond demonstrating a series of combinations but shows a tremendous intellectual understanding of the theoretical principles of his teaching. Every exercise has a purpose or multiple reasons to be performed to perfection and carried forth to similar exercises and ultimately be applied in choreography on stage.   As Cecchetti spans several important historical periods in ballet so too does his work.  From Petipa-Fokine-Massine, to name a few.   His purpose was to enable the dancer to respond to the needs of the choreographer."    - Pamela Moore
