It is not so much upon the number of exercises,as the care with which they are done,that progreses and skill depend.  --Auguste Bournonville

DAI Cecchetti Program

DAI is one of 2 studios in Iowa to offer this universally recognized method of classical ballet training. This is a method of teaching and learning ballet that provides a sound foundation in which the student not only can imitate a step, they understard how to analyze and break it down, along with the theory and vocabulary that accompanies it. It not only prepares students through a developmentally progressive curriculum, but also offers the opportunity to experience the larger world of dance. DAI makes 2 yearly trips to the Chicago area for workshops as well as a choice to take exams and progress through the levels of the program.
