Days of the Week with a Ballet Master:
Port de Bras, Adage work and Allegro exercises in the Major Level with Cecchetti
The Cecchetti Method is renowned for producing dancers known for their artistry, purity of line and their ability to adapt to other forms of dance.
The Cecchetti training emphasises on many aspects such as Elasticity, Strength, Musicality, Mastery and Understanding of the body as well as Artistry.
This workshop is going to cover the beautiful Port de Bras, Adage work and Allegro exercises in our major levels.
The other aspect that is very apparent in the Cecchetti Method is ‘Repetition’. Our First and Second Set of Port de Bras will demonstrate this.
The Maestro divided his Syllabi into Days of the Week and today we are showing two of his beautiful adages: - Pas de Chaconne from Advanced 1 (Wednesday) and Fouette et Ballotte from Advanced 2 (Monday).
Allegro selections will be taken from each day of the week.
