At North Reading School of Ballet, we teach The Cecchetti method of ballet which is a precise, graded, progressive system which allows the student to develop proper technique, strength and placement.

Enrico Cecchetti was a brilliant dance technician and a world renowned teacher of the Ballet Russes who trained such outstanding dancers as Pavlova, Fokine and Nijinsky. Among his proteges was English ballerine Margaret Craske who later taught at the Julliard School and from whom Madeline Cantarella Culpo received her training. It is from Mrs. Culpo that Lisa Pulver developed her technique.

It is the goal of the school to provide ballet training that is exact and disciplined but with an atmosphere of accomplishment and fun. Ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance and will develop strength, poise, discipline and grace which enriches a students life. Our Modern, Jazz and Tap classes complement the ballet training. We also offer Hip-Hop classes.

Pilates body conditioning is an exercise system designed to improve flexibility and strength without building bulk.

Our Adult Classes are designed especially for the older student who is new to the art of dance or is refreshing a past knowledge. Check our schedule for a convenient class for you.
