Her vocal claims to fame include performing with the Grammy award-winning gospel group “God’s Property,” and beating pop superstar Kelly Clarkson in All-State Choir auditions while they were in high school. While working as a singing waitress during college, Emily convinced Eric to work alongside her as a singing waiter. The couple realized how much they loved performing together and have been singing together ever since. In early 2014, in response to a challenge from a friend, Emily and Eric recorded a video of themselves singing “Love is an Open Door” from Disney’s Frozen. To date, that video has received over 1.6 million views on YouTube. This video has convinced Emily’s three girls Piper, Keller, and Harper that she is in fact “cool” and she plans on enjoying the perks until they figure out otherwise. Emily teaches music at Midland Classical Academy, directs the West Texas Symphony Voices of the Permian Basin Children’s choir, and performs regularly with Current Nine, a local, highly sought-after rock cover band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62805f224812f85fc8609c34/ba82a0e9-5e01-4c24-91f1-e8957a0ec3d6/Screenshot+2025-09-26+at+11.43.20%E2%80%AFPM.png Faculty - Kristina Daigle, Visual Arts, Teacher Kristina Daigle, a native West Texas, graduated from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Art with an emphasis in Art History.

Strength: Practicing at the barre, pirouettes, or pointe work, Cecchetti students must show the strength needed to sustain a career on a professional level. This is also for the safety of the dancer. Musicality: The Cecchetti method emphasizes ballet dancers' synergy with music. Choreographers trained in the Cecchetti method design dances to serve the musical score. Mastery and understanding: Cecchetti students do not memorize techniques by rote. They learn the building blocks of each technique and are taught to have an appreciation for the history of ballet. Artistry and Movements: Ballet dancing is an art form, and Cecchetti ballet dancers present as artists, not mechanical technicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62805f224812f85fc8609c34/71d95abd-f88f-48b6-beaa-fdef4a1e1398/Cecchetti_jpg.gif The Method - History of Cecchetti ENRICO CECCHETTI, the Student Enrico Cecchetti was born in Rome on the 21st of June, 1850. Young Enrico’s stage debut occurred as an infant in his father’s arms. Although his parents wanted for him a career in business or law, Enrico was determined to be a dancer and finally convinced his parents of his great desire and dedication. Trained in the rudiments of ballet by his father, Enrico was sent for further training to Giovanni Lepri who prepared accomplished dancers. This early training created a background for Enrico Cecchetti’s method of teaching following the lines of Blasis’ own theory. Blasis had codified his teaching methods in the book Traite Elementaire, Technique et Practise de Art de la Danse, published in 1820. ENRICO CECCHETTI, the Professional Dancer Cecchetti began touring Europe in his late teens, and at age 20 had his debut on the stage of La Scala in Milan. He was an instant success! Throughout his career, he received rave reviews and accolades and was considered the finest male dancer of his time. At the height of his career, he migrated to St. Petersburg. While performing in Russia, he captivated his audiences with brilliant feats of batterie, amazing leaps, and multiple pirouettes. He was hired to perform as Premier Danseur, to be Maitre de Ballet with the Maryinsky Ballet and to teach at the Imperial Ballet School (1887-1902). So prodigious was his technique and his gifts for mime that he created and performed the virtuoso role of the Blue Bird and the mime role of Carabosse in the premiere of Petipa’s The Sleeping Beauty in 1890. MAESTRO CECCHETTI, the Teacher Cecchetti taught at the Imperial School in St. Petersburg from 1887-1902, and from 1902-1905 he taught in Poland at the Warsaw State School. Returning to St. Petersburg in 1905, he established a school there. From 1907-1909, he taught Anna Pavlova exclusively until dancers from the Maryinsky pleaded with him to open his classes to them again. When Diaghilev wanted his company, the Ballets Russes, to tour, the dancers refused because they would miss their daily classes with Cecchetti. An astute businessman, Diaghilev hired Enrico for the dual roles of ballet master and mime. Cecchetti performed many mime roles which were created expressly for him by choreographers of the Ballets Russes. Cecchetti’s presence in the Diaghilev Ballets Russes was very important. He was the link between the past and the present, contributing to the birth of modern classical ballet. In addition to Cecchetti and the dancers, many other artists worked with the Diaghilev Ballets Russes: painters, set and costume designers Bakst, Picasso, Cocteau, and Matisse; composers Debussy, De Falla, Prokofiev, Ravel, and Stravinksy. The Ballets Russes toured through Europe, the United States, South America, and Australia. Tired of touring, Cecchetti settled in London, England where he opened a school to which dancers flocked. Considered the technical lodestar of the ballet world, it was said that no one could become a finished ballet dancer without passing through Cecchetti’s hands. In 1923, he returned to Italy to retire but was invited by Arturo Toscanini to resume his teaching career at La Scala, his lifelong dream. While teaching a class, Cecchetti collapsed and was taken home where he died the following day, November 13, 1928 (Information provided by Livia Brillarelli, Dr. Kathleen Tenniswood Powell, Shiela Darby, and Rose Marie Floyd) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62805f224812f85fc8609c34/ac9cfb5d-693a-4f2e-ae95-fbd593c76fb8/Untitled+design.png The Method - Cecchetti Method Today TRADITION CONTINUES, Cecchetti’s Legacy Maestro Enrico Cecchetti will always be remembered through the teaching method he developed which expanded upon the principles set forth by Carlo Blasis. He learned from the masters; he assimilated and applied the theories they taught. From his own experiences as a dancer and a teacher and from his associations with other dancers, artists, and musicians, he continued to learn, sharing his knowledge and wisdom throughout a career which spanned nearly eight decades. Cyril Beaumont, a world-renowned dance historian and friend of Cecchetti said, “What impressed me most about the Cecchetti method of teaching was the way in which each exercise played a definite and planned part in the student’s technical development. There is nothing haphazard about the system, nothing which depended on the teacher’s mood of the moment. There is a definite plan to daily classes.” The method devised by Maestro Cecchetti was recorded and published in 1922 by Cyril Beaumont with the help of Idzikowski and Cecchetti, himself. The Manual of Theory and Practice of Classical Theatrical Dancing (Cecchetti Method) is an excellent source of information on technique, stance, positions of arms, feet, legs, hands, body, head, port de bras, adages, etc. Margaret Craske and Fridericka Derra de Moroda later collaborated with Cyril Beaumont in recording many allegro enchainements and pirouettes. Having finished the manual on the Cecchetti Method, Beaumont decided it would be beneficial to bring together those dancers in London who had studied with Cecchetti. From this group was founded the Cecchetti Society in 1922. Its earliest members were Cyril Beaumont, Margaret Craske, Fridericka. Derra de Moroda, Molly Lake, Jane Forrestier, Dame Marie Rambert, and Dame Ninette de Valois. Cecchetti and his wife were the first president and vice president of the Cecchetti Society. From this Society, branches have developed in all parts of the world. The legacy of the Cecchetti teachings has continued to grow. Among the many dancers influenced by Cecchetti were: Anna Pavlova; Vaslav Nijinksy; Tamara Karsavina; Dame Ninette de Valois and Dame Marie Rambert (Royal Ballet of England and Ballet Rambert, respectively); Gisella Caccialanza (New York City Ballet and San Francisco Ballet); Vincenzo Celli, Luigi Albertieri, Dame Alicia Markova, and Margaret Craske (Metropolitan Opera Ballet); Luba Egorova and Olga Preobrajenska (who taught in Paris); Serge Lifar (Paris Opera Ballet); Betty Oliphant (National Ballet of Canada); Molly Lake (Ankara Ballet of Turkey); Adolf Bolin (San Francisco Opera Ballet and Chicago Lyrical Ballet); Mikhail Mordkin (American Ballet Theatre); George Balanchine (New York City Ballet); Dame Peggy Van Praagh (Australian Ballet); Dulcie Howes (University of Cape Town, South Africa, also known as C.A.P.A.B. Ballet Co.). The list is endless. The Cecchetti Council of America is an organization with the goal of perpetuating the Cecchetti Method through seminars, conferences, festivals, examinations, and by providing guidelines and standards for achievement.
