After three years as ballet master in Warsaw he returned to St. Petersberg to devote himself to developing the technique of Pavlova and other ound promising dancers. From Cecchetti was the ballet master with Diaghilev's Ballet Russe. Alicia Markov has told the story of a Russian teacher being engaged to give classes to the Diaghilev Company for twelve months.
It was soon discovered that the purity of the Cecchetti training was by far superior for a company that was not only staging classical ballets, but also very contemporary ballets. At his London Ballet School, opened in , he taught nearly every famous dancer of the time. It was Madam Saronova who, instead of joining the Diaghilev Company, came to Australia with her new husband just after the first world war and founded the Cecchetti Society in Australia, in Melbourne.
In , Cecchetti accepted the directorship of the Ballet School at La Scala Milan and it was here that he died while giving a ballet class in The Cecchetti Method of teaching classical ballet includes a very full vocabulary of movement, including exercises composed by Cecchetti himself for the development of strength, balance, poise and elevation. The port de bras, or exercises to develop grace and coordination of the arms are generally admitted to be unsurpassed.
One of the foremost features of the Cecchetti Method is the very sound basis of anatomical detail, as set down by Carlo Blasis and proven through the ages. Vaganova-trained dancers execute ballet movements with an effortlessness by using supple arms to contrast the robust movement of the legs. The Cecchetti dancer moves as an instrument; the arms and legs are all one working entity. The Cecchetti Council of America holds examinations in classical ballet for students and teachers across the United States who are training in the Cecchetti method.
The competitions are noted for their welcoming atmosphere. It is in this environment that students are encouraged to demonstrate their performing and choreographic skills in a number of events.
Young dancers are at the heart of the Cecchetti training and Cecchetti Classical Ballet provides outstanding opportunities for talented young dancers who would like to extend their learning experience and join with others to improve and broaden their training.
