Beautifully executed....... It takes me back to my own full time ballet training about 70 years ago. Our classes included not only RAD but Italian Enrico Cecchetti classes that also provided the wonderful Russian influence. I so loved those classes as they were much more expressive and flowing, than RAD training. Much later in life in my 60's I had the opportunity to study Legat Russian Ballet, under Barbara Gregory who studied under Nicolia Legat himself, when he was teaching in London, at Colet House, near Barons Court on the Great Western Road. Once one has studied this way your body never forget it. Barbara and John Gregory, ran their own school and set up the Harlequin Ballet Company as an outlet for their own students to perform. Born in 1939, I feel that my passion for ballet and classical music has kept me young at heart but also physically youthful and mostly in excellent health. Later, I turned to classical singing and studied the Old Italian Tradition based on 18th Century Pacchierotti 'He who knows how to breath knows how to sing', a dictate that Francesco Lamperti, famed singing teacher at the Milan Conservatoire, also believed in and in 1840 he published his 4 page article 'On the Decadence of the Art of Singing' for even in 1840 the singers were straying from the great training of the singers in the 18th Century such as Pacchiarotti who gave his final professional concert aged seventy seven (77) years of age. Dance too, has that same need to understand the breath and how to use the breathe with the music and the movement of the dance. All the classical arts vital to provide those who have the inner calling to study and become dancers and dance teachers, or singers and teachers for 'Man Doth Not Live by Bread Alone', and the heart and passions must be aroused in the expression of beauty. God Bless you for your teaching this exquisite art, with all the enormous physical demands that are built over years of training to either perform or/and pass it onto the upcoming generations. To me this is noble work.

Cecchetti studies are so comprehensive, so demanding and so beautiful in what they impart to the student.

Gorgeous. It is so wonderful to see dancers who are comfortable and in control. Especially when jumping. I can see the energy flowing up and out of the body, not being locked at hip level.

To be honest, I cannot wait to purchase this excellent resource! Well, I guess I already know what I want for Christmas... :D I desperately want to get more insight into the Cecchetti method, but unfortunately, there is little exposure in my area. Additionally, it is difficult to find footage on KZbin or the internet in general. From this little insight, it looks really exhausting and demanding. Hopefully, it is useful to learn the method - though, a video can never replace a teacher and actual training. Even though the Cecchetti Society tries to protect the technique and its quality (just as it is done with Balanchine), it would be educating if there were more resources available that explain the syllabus and its characteristics.

Fortunately, there's now available resource on that: Ballet's Secret Code. They have a documentary on youtube for this one, and a website too!
