Yes, we offer Cecchetti Classical Ballet courses as part of our Elite training programme at Mentors in Ballet Education. These courses are designed for students who are committed to pursuing ballet at the highest level, whether their goal is professional performance or becoming a qualified teacher.
What is Cecchetti Classical Ballet?
Cecchetti Classical Ballet has long been recognised as one of the most influential training methods in the world of dance. Developed by Enrico Cecchetti in the 19th century, this approach is known for its clear structure, refined technique, and musical sensitivity. The method has shaped generations of dancers and remains an essential foundation for those seeking both artistry and technical excellence.
Studying Ceccetti Courses at MIBE
At MIBE, our Cecchetti courses follow the official Vocational Graded Syllabi, ranging from Intermediate Foundation up to Advanced 2. These qualifications are regulated and form part of a recognised pathway that supports dancers aiming for professional employment or further education in the field. The training focuses on developing physical strength, coordination, performance quality and stylistic understanding.
Students studying the Cecchetti method at MIBE are expected to engage at a vocational level. This means showing commitment, discipline, and a genuine desire to master the art form. Our faculty includes highly experienced teachers and examiners who guide each student through a structured yet personalised journey, ensuring they are supported both technically and artistically.
Alongside technical classes, students have the opportunity to enter vocational examinations, compete in friendly and prestigious Cecchetti competitions, and work towards notable qualifications such as the Enrico Cecchetti Diploma. These experiences not only foster performance skills but also deepen students’ understanding of the wider context and tradition of classical ballet.
Whether you are a young dancer looking to take the next step in your training or someone passionate about a future in ballet education, our Cecchetti programme at MIBE provides a professional, nurturing, and inspiring environment to grow.
