“Why?” you ask. Let me explain:
“Cecchetti” is a method of ballet dancing. Eight student grades (exams) and eight teacher grades have been created to help ballet dancers become professionals. Once you are a certified Cecchetti Dancer (have passed an exam), companies are more inclined to hire you for large productions. When a Cecchetti Dancer passes student grade six, he/she is officially a professional dancer!
I will be taking student grades One and Two this October. Two members of the Cecchetti Council will be in my area to judge me, along with some of my friends. It is common for a student to take Grade 1 and Grade 2 together because they are so alike. My teacher, Miss Sara, will be presenting us to the judges, as we must have a teacher pass. I am taking a Cecchetti class with her this summer and will continue through this fall (only until October, of course). THEN, I will be totally prepared for whatever the judges throw my way! I can’t wait!
