Welcome to Cecchetti USA, where tradition meets excellence in ballet education. Founded on the enduring principles of the Cecchetti Method, our organization has been committed to the highest standards of ballet training and pedagogy since its inception. The Cecchetti Method, developed by the legendary ballet master Enrico Cecchetti, emphasizes a progressive approach to dance education that is both systematic and anatomically informed.
Over the years, Cecchetti USA has evolved to support a network of dedicated educators and dancers who seek both the artistic and technical mastery of ballet. Our mission is to preserve the integrity of the Cecchetti legacy while adapting to the contemporary needs of the dance community. Through rigorous training programs, certification for teachers, and national events, we foster a vibrant community that upholds the rich traditions of classical ballet while encouraging innovation and artistic growth.
Join us in celebrating a legacy of excellence in ballet training. Cecchetti USA continues to inspire generations of dancers and educators, contributing to the cultural fabric of the performing arts across the nation and beyond.

"A student trained in the Cecchetti Method dances with coordination and control, purity of line and can move with astonishing speed or measured lyricism. They are able to change planes and directions without difficulty and always with intense musicality and a sense of innate joy of dancing."
Maestro Enrico Cecchetti
“Aim at softness and ease in your performance of a dance. Endeavor that all shall be harmonious. However hard you work at your lessons or at rehearsals, let none of this effort be visible in your performance. There must be no sign of concentration, exertion, or tension. All must be free and natural. For the true art is that which conceals the labor that produced it.”
Alison Durham, LCUSA
"I believe that taking Cecchetti ballet exams can not only prepare students for a career in dance but also equips them with transferable skills and qualities that can benefit their personal and professional lives. The discipline, focus, confidence, resilience, and teamwork developed through the exam process can contribute to success in a wide range of future endeavors."
