EXAMS

The Cecchetti Council of America holds examinations in classical ballet for students and teachers who are training in the Cecchetti method. The Syllabus tests the technical and artistic accomplishments of student candidates who have been prepared by member teachers. It offers students an opportunity to demonstrate their technical ability and understanding of the material. Each level provides attainable goals that build self-confidence in their developmental progress and successful achievements.
 

​

Examinations are available for students of all ages from "Early Childhood Development"

to Professional Examination Syllabi, including:

​

• Three pre-syllabus examinations for younger children that will develop poise 
  and musicality in a fun and creative environment.
  .

• Grade I and II Syllabus, that will develop proper placement of torso, hips, and 
  legs without exceeding anatomical limitations.
  .

• Grade III and IV Syllabus where students develop strength and stability in the demonstration of the pirouettes and grand allegro. Suppleness and smooth graceful movements are developed in these levels along with the coordination of head, arms, legs, and body.

Any teachers pursuing examinations in the system must be sponsored by a certified Cecchetti teacher who has passed their Intermediate Level exam. Through this personal relationship with their sponsor the system is carefully presented and nurtured to maintain the high standards that have been handed down by Enrico Cecchetti.
