What a collection
of different songs and melodies. Everything from
‘The Can Can’ to ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ all arranged
for a complete ballet class. The tracks are not
repeated at the barre but are certainly long enough
to turn and repeat without stopping and the center
is full of all sorts of long allegro melodies. On
several of the tracks, the piano is accompanied by
strings to help fill out the sound.
Christopher Hobson plays with a great
energetic style that makes you want to dance and has
a clear beat that is easy to follow. Even though the
CD cover shows a bare foot and the word modern in
the title there is nothing about this title that has
to do with modern dance. The music does have plenty
to do with the pure fun and joy of dancing.
