Hello. I adore all of your ballet class music and so do my students, you are amazing!!! Whenever I play your msuic for ballet, my students are inspired to dance to their full potential. You have a gift for arranging and playing passionately to uplift and encourage dancers. I look forward to buying more of your new albums! I've told my other teaching friends about you and they have been so excited to buy your CDs. Thank you for recording your beautifully arranged pieces with such passion, I really appreciate it.
