NotesDancing Fingers is a ballet class CD designed for all levels of the Ballet class. 34 tracks of beautiful original piano compositions composed and played by international dance accompanist Michael Roberts. Feautured are his signature Adagios,a Mazurka,Polaniase,Polka,Tango,2 Grand Waltzes and much much more. I am writing to express how important this CD is for dance teachers and dancers. Michael has played for the most prominent ballet teachers in the world. All of his years of experience are built into the essence of this CD. Michael is fantastic at bringing the right rhythms to each exercise so that the dancer can benefit fully to the dynamics of the movement. He makes class lighter and reminds us that dance is an art form to enjoy while working on the nuances and qualities that ballet demands. Having Michael live as an accompanist adds an enthusiasm to the dancers that is awe inspiring and his collection of cds brings that same energy into the studio. Michael is a master at playing just the right tempo and tonality to making each combination complete. Dancing Fingers is his latest work which has the hallmark of extraordinary experience and his love for dance and dancers. Every teacher should have a stack of Michael's cds with Dancing Fingers at the top of the pile! Sincerely, Glenn Edgerton Artistic Director Hubbard Street Dance Chicago Finis Jhung, Master Teacher - 2009 'Dancing Fingers' says it all. Michael Roberts knows how to bring out the best in every dancer. His years of experience playing for the world's best ballet dancers have equipped him with a unique understanding of what dancers need to hear to dance their best. This is a stupendous new collection of original ballet class music with many moods that is simply elegant, expertly phrased, and absolutely inspiring!
