Crossing Over

This pathway is suitable for current teachers who hold classical ballet teaching qualifications in other methods and would like to 'cross over' into the Cecchetti teaching ranks.

​

Candidates are required to undertake an entry-level examination equivalent to the Cecchetti Associate Diploma Examination.

​

Upon commencement, the candidate is permitted to Pre-Register, and thereby teach and enter candidates for Cecchetti examinations whilst they themselves are preparing for their assessment. This membership is for teachers who do not yet hold an Associate status. A pre-registered teacher must enter candidates for examinations within 12 months and complete the requirements for provisional registration within 2 years. For further information please contact the National Office.

​

Pre-requisites:

• Teaching qualification with another recognised classical ballet method

• Current First Aid Qualification

• Current WWCC

• Supply a link to their School Child Safe Policy
   

Candidates will undertake training with a mentor (a senior Cecchetti teacher or examiner) at their own expense. Mentor will be allocated to candidate upon commencement. Training will also entail assessments for Anatomy and Childhood Development.

​

Outcome: Successful candidates will receive their Associate Diploma of Cecchetti Ballet Australia Inc. and Cecchetti International – Classical Ballet (CICB) in the year in which their examination was taken. The candidate is entitled to use the letters ‘A(Dip).C.B.A. - C.I.C.B. (See Membership Classification for more detail).

​

How to apply:

​

An Application in the form of a letter of introduction from the candidate should be emailed to National Office admin@cecchettiballet.org
