Music for Centre Practice
Ballet Piano Podcast - A podcast by Chris Hobson, Matt Gregory, Akiko Hobson, David Yow
In this episode we're discussing Music for Centre Practice. David discusses the importance of barre work and how it prepares the dancer for the centre, and how many of the steps and exercises from the barre can be done in the centre. As with most of the barre exercises, the pianists discuss the importance of playing with a little rubato as you begin to accompany dancers in the centre, helping them achieve the steps and exercises without the constraint of music in a strict metre.
