legacy projects

Cecchetti Ballet is as relevant today as when the method was first created. The Trust recognises that, to preserve the legacy, resources in contemporary formats are needed to make the work accessible to new generations of dancers, teachers and ballet lovers. The filming of the Enrico Cecchetti Diploma work is an example of this aspect of the Trust’s work and supporting projects to develop Legacy Resources is a key objective.

supporting teachers

Access to high quality training and study opportunities is vital for Cecchetti teachers. The Cecchetti Society Trust supports teachers to further their professional development through Teacher Study Bursaries. The Trust also supports teachers through the work of the Cecchetti Centre.
