Cecchetti Classical Ballet Scholarship Scheme
The Scholarship Scheme based in London offers a thirty-week training programme for talented young dancers. At the end of the year students have the opportunity to perform at a prestigious venue. In past years this has been The Royal Ballet School, but in July 2011 students performed at The Lowry, Manchester, UK as part of the Cecchetti International Classical Ballet Competition programme.
Classes are held over three terms. There are no charges for these classes, and auditions are held in June each year. The programme includes
- Classical Ballet
- Body Conditioning

- Visit to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
