as taught by Margaret Craske, a direct student of Enrico Cecchetti and beloved mentor to Diana Byer

Dancio is thrilled to present The Diana Byer Legacy Project, a collection of 16 ballet classes representing the CECCHETTI TRADITION through the lineage of Margaret Craske.

Beginning with the youngest dancers learning elementary ballet, through professional level classes, the collection includes rare steps and extraordinary skill development.

Produced in collaboration with Jacob’s Pillow, these classes highlight the mastery of Ms. Byer as a gifted lifelong teacher, relaying technique and coordination patterns that distinguish dancers as versatile, detailed, and less vulnerable to injury.
