Suzanne Knosp, pianist and Assistant Professor of Dance/Music Director for Dance at the University of Arizona, composed this wonderful spiral bound book of pieces for the ballet class.
The book is especially (and wonderfully) heavy on the 3/4's. The adagios and waltzes could not be more helpful. Waltzes are even more specific — lyrical waltzes, bright waltzes, big waltz, grand allegro waltz. Written in the classical style, they suit the ballet class so perfectly. Also included are polkas, gallop, ragtime, tango, mazurka, and more. 66 pieces in all.
Welcome to Danceables!
Here I can present to you the best of my work for ballet, pre-ballet, and tap class. And to my fellow pianists, here I can offer some tried and true books for ballet class -- and now I even have scores!
I have had the pleasure of accompanying some of the best teachers and dancers in the world. A big thank you to all of them, and to all of the
people who have loved and appreciated my music over the years.
