Sull’opera
The Italian, former virtuoso dancer, Enrico Cecchetti (1850-1928), was invited to join Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1910, and, although he was absent touring with Anna Pavlova during the 1913-14 season and did not accompany the Ballets Russes during its second tour of the USA, he was the principal teacher until retiring to Italy in 1924. For dancers at the turn of the century in St Petersburg Cecchetti's classes were inspirational and he was a key figure in the enriching of the dancers' epaulement - the more flowing use of the upper body.

Cecchetti opened a school in London in 1918 where British dancer, Laura Wilson, who danced with the Ballets Russes 1918-19 and 1921, found Cecchetti's classes fast - 'in no part of the class was one allowed to stop after a correction' but 'everything had a precise logic'. His system of teaching was codified by Cyril Beaumont with the assistance of dancers, Stanislas Idzikowsky, Margaret Craske and Derra de Meroda.
