Short trailer from last summer created by the beautiful eye of @almas_by_susan_labich 💞🎥
Not sure is this is the content that you wait from me but I wanted to share this piece of beauty 🙏🏼
I love how @almas_by_susan_labich appeared in my life and how she captured my vision and my world 🥰

🥰 Summary of my time at the MUSIC & DANCE CONFERENCE @ilcorponelsuono 🎶🩰🪘🎹🎧🎸👯
Feeling so honored to get invited to present the @dancemusiciansguild and to meet so many amazing dance musicians! 🙏🏼💛
Since I started to discover dance musicians around the world I’ve been always fascinated by the big amount of talent in this profession 😱👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And I’ll continue working to spread this interesting profession all over 🌏🌎🌍

😏 Using the same piece for different exercises

😏 Using the same piece for different exercises 😝
Have you found music type similarities between the ballet exercises???
🥝 Battements jetés can be similar to small jumps
🥖 Grands battements can be similar to big jumps
🌶 Frappés can be similar to codas
🍏 Ronds de jambe à terre can be similar to adage
🍱 and many more…
BUT! ☝🏼 You need to pay attention to the small details like:
✔️ accentuation
✔️dancers’ breathing
✔️the mood in the class
✔️your music styles mix
✔️the teacher’s taste
✔️giving variety to the class
…
🤓🧐😉

😵‍💫 Those weird moments between the groups

😵‍💫 Those weird moments between the groups:
“Did the teacher say 4 counts? Or 8?”
“Will be 4 counts be enough? And if it’s not”?
… 🤔 …
And then, the moment arrives and it’s kind of you-follow-the-dancers / the-dancers-follow-you 😅😂😂
Here a clear example playing tendus in the center 😉
SOLUTION??? Give a super extra clear accent in count one (scream 😱😅) and cross your fingers to be together with the dancers so they don’t need to stop 😵‍💫😂😂🤞🏼
Playing for the gorgeous male dancers ballet company class at @kglteater 🇩🇰😍
Any one there feeling sometimes weird with the counts in between the groups? 😋
