My Name is Natasha Singelee. Having trained at the West Street School in Covent Garden and the Arts Educational school, Chiswick back in the early Nineties, I went on to dance professionally for many years. Now I pass on my knowledge and love of dance to the children and adults that I teach. The Cecchetti technique has been developed from the teachings of the great ballet master Enrico Cecchetti by the Cecchetti Society. One notable emphasis in the Cecchetti syllabus is that the arms flow and blend from position to position more than any other technique.
Examinations Cecchetti's own teaching was geared to professional dancers. As a build up to the full Cecchetti Method, the Cecchetti Society has evolved a series of graded syllabi and examinations to meet the needs of children at both pre-vocational and recreational levels, as well as those of the vocational student. There are also qualifying examinations for teachers, granting Associate, Licentiate and Fellowship status of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing.
