FACULTY ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to personal circumstances, Michele Di Molfetta and Lucia Pravisani will unfortunately be unable to join us for this year’s Summer School.

We feel incredibly fortunate and honoured that Lynsey Kidd and Simon Kidd have both accepted our invitation to join the Summer School faculty at such short notice. We are certain that our students will thoroughly enjoy working with them throughout the week just as they did last year.

Lynsey and Simon both enjoyed successful careers as professional dancers and are now Directors of Mentors in Ballet Education in Burnley.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Lynsey and Simon back to our faculty and in wishing Michele a smooth and speedy recovery.

Another successful edition for the International Cecchetti Summer School – Italy!

We are delighted to share that, once again, our Summer School has attracted students and teachers from all over the world. Seeing our dance community grow more international each year makes us incredibly proud and confirms our commitment to providing the highest quality educational experience.

From an internationally renowned and diverse faculty to a carefully structured curriculum for every level, from professional sprung dance floors to fully air-conditioned studios, every detail is thoughtfully planned. For us, these are not optional extras—they are essential elements in creating the best possible environment for learning and artistic growth.

Our commitment to quality continues to be rewarded. As we celebrate our 3rd Edition, we are thrilled to see both participation and international representation reaching new heights.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has chosen ICSS as their Summer Intensive.

We cannot wait to welcome you all in just over a month!
