Music for Petit Allegro and Medium Allegro

Ballet Piano Podcast - A podcast by Chris Hobson, Matt Gregory, Akiko Hobson, David Yow

Categories:

In this episode we're lifting the lid on Music for Petit Allegro and Medium Allegro. David teaches the listener how dancers begin to jump in ballet class, and he explains in great detail how dancers prepare to jump through the use of the plié exercise, and some plié relevé exercises. The pianists then begin to discuss all the possible music that can be played for jumps, of which there are many different time signatures and styles of music that can be used.  But ultimately, the team agree that at this point in the class when the dancers are fully warm and stretched and pushing their bodies, that there is a lot of fun to be had with the music.
