Cecchetti Classical Ballet
(ISTD Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing)
As your child grows, they move into more structured Cecchetti Ballet training. This method is world-renowned for its purity of line and focus on the internal ‘feeling’ of the dancer.
Miss Angelina is also a member of the Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD), I Path, ISTD (Imperial & Cecchetti), and Rambert Grades, and despite this vast breadth of knowledge and experience across multiple disciplines, she specifically chose the Cecchetti method for her school.
Over the years Angelina has successfully guided 1000’s of children through both Class examinations and Grade examinations in the Cecchetti Classical Ballet Method in London, witnessing first hand how this method shapes not just dancers, but confident, creative, expressive young individuals.
