Description
“Les Pointes” by Nolwenn Collet in collaboration with Debbie Allen
Tutus & Tempo Collection Vol II
From the album notes:
This CD is dedicated to a ballet class on pointe shoes and has been created in special collaboration with Ballet Teacher Debbie Allen. The variety of tempi, styles and dynamics will allow the teacher to adapt the exercises at different levels. The music aims to illustrate the qualities which are essential to dancing on pointes: strength, precision, uplift, but also suspension, balance, control….
