events
The Trust organises events to support special legacy projects and to raise additional funds for Scholarships for young dancers and teachers. Events showcase Cecchetti work with professional artists, company directors and esteemed teachers. They are an opportunity to introduce new audiences and celebrate and promote Cecchetti. The Trust also supports grants to other organisations for their special events which align to the Trust’s objectives.
supporting young dancers
Young dancers are at the heart of Cecchetti training and The Cecchetti Society Trust supports young dancers training in the Cecchetti Method through the Cecchetti Scholars Scheme, Student Summer Study Bursaries and Competitions and Awards events for children and vocational students.
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.
