Persons wishing to gain a full qualification within Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
This unit develops an awareness of the principles of Enrico Cecchetti’s method of teaching classical ballet. It is developed over time to reflect the physical and mental development through early childhood, specifically ages 4 to 6 years.
The unit involves identifying developmental stages and designing classes and exercises to meet individual client needs.
This unit requires the encouragement of a sense of enjoyment and the development of confidence in movement.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to teach Cecchetti Ballet classes at the Pre Primary, Primary and Grade 1 levels and the progression through the levels. These levels have been clustered due to the ages of the students and their physical and mental development levels.
This unit is part of a three-year apprenticeship using self-assessment and liaison with a mentor. External studies, including anatomy, childhood development, musicology, first aid and business studies are also undertaken during the apprenticeship. The knowledge gained from these external studies is applied to the development of lesson plans and delivery, student assessments and the daily running of a ballet school.
This unit was developed by Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. and is reproduced with permission in the Live Performance Training Package. Registered training organisations wishing to deliver this unit must be licensed to do so by Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc.
