Does Rubato Help or Hinder A Ballet Dancer?
Ballet Piano Podcast - A podcast by Chris Hobson, Matt Gregory, Akiko Hobson, David Yow
We are discussing the use of tempo rubato and ask the question - Does Rubato Help or Hinder in Ballet Class?The literal meaning of tempo rubato is ‘robbed time’, and refers to expressive and rhythmic freedom, by slightly slowing down and speeding up at the discretion of the musician as they play.We talk about where rubato can be useful and how it can help dancers in their technique and artistry, but as David will state very clearly, it can also hinder greatly in dancers that are not advanced and don’t have that understanding of their technique and musicality.This episode is proudly produced and published by PodcastRecording.co.uk
