The Cecchetti Ballet method is an internationally recognised program and widely used technique that was devised by the Italian ballet master and pedagogue Enrico Cecchetti (1850–1928). The classes are designed to give students a strong ballet technique; developing strength and stability, poise, coordination and grace in performance. The program is designed to meet the needs of dancers with special needs who want to learn ballet.  Involves a gradual building of skills as students progress.
