The School of the Albany Berkshire Ballet (Albany, NY) and Cantarella
School of Dance (Pittsfield, MA) are known for their outstanding
balanced dance curriculums. Director Madeline Cantarella Culpo founded
the School of Dance in 1955 with the goal of providing personal
attention and training for students and professional dancers.
Graduates have gone on to dance with the Albany Berkshire Ballet,
Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Jacob's Pillow and the
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Portland, and Washington Ballets. The School
teaches the Cecchetti method of ballet developed by Enrico Cecchetti,
world renowned teacher of the Ballet Russes and ballet master of
Diaghilev Ballet Russes, who trained such dancers as Pavlova, Fokine
and Nijinsky. Among his proteges was English ballerina Margaret Craske
who later taught at the Juilliard School and Jacob's Pillow. From Miss
Craske, Madeline Cantarella Culpo developed her technique.
