Cecchetti developed a specific syllabus which is known for its gracious port de bras, quick footwork and great strength. He grouped the vocabulary of movement into six sets of exercises - one for each day of the working week.
Cecchetti's work was geared to professional dancers and students. To meet the needs of the young child, the Cecchetti Society evolved as a series of graded examinations to lead the students toward the major levels which Cecchetti himself developed.
