Really love this album!! Makes class more fun for my students while maintaining the basic rhythm for developing good ballet combinations.

I am teaching dance to very young children and I try to introduce them to different types of music. I have mostly classical repertoire. This CD opened the whole new Universe for my little students! They actually appreciate the new rhythms. I love the idea that some songs from known children stories are included. The interpretation is very beautiful! Thank you!
