Although this cd is good quality, and has many options for each part of class, there are a few flaws. First, the length and tempo for each track is not listed, and many of the tracks are very short. This works if you are teaching a class for young children, however for more advanced classes they are way too short. Also, many of the tracks are versions of popular and broadway music, which to me becomes a little grating after a while.

not very good because real short band. I forgot about how those records when lisa was play for us and her records. Very beautiful ballet cd this is. I vote for this and I play this for my class which i give class.

This cd is great for all ballet levels. I use this with my 9 year olds along with my 17 year olds. Its a great cd!

I've been teaching ballet for many years and am always interested in finding music that will inspire my students to move. After listening to a few tracks I thought this might be the case with this particular Lisa Harris CD as I've never been a big fan of any other CD's of hers in the past.....now I (again) know why....It put me to sleep....the tempo's and the playing is meant for more of a nap than for a ballet class. Many of the tracks are also not long enough. Why do you have track for 40 secs when many exercises go for nearly twice that - especially in center when you want to repeat the music for groups or lines across the floor....Sorry but this just didn't do it for me...

I was hoping to add a good basic CD to my ballet music selection, but this one was a huge disappointment. For one thing, the only list of tracks is on the back of the CD cover... in black ink printed on a black and white (mostly black) photograph, so trying to decipher the text is largely impossible. I have to go online to a website that lists them to figure out what exercises they were intended for and even that doesn't list the time signature or the length which makes picking tracks for my exercises a practice in frustration. The tracks that are on here are far too short even for beginner classes with very simple exercises. The music selection is also rather sappy. I've pretty much given up on using this CD at all for class.

I love this cd. There are so many tracks, great jumps, nice selection of tunes, and it's recorded beautifully so has a great sound on my stereo. There is so much feeling in the music and it makes my students love to dance.

I loved this cd--it includes many classical works so that music education can be part of the Ballet Class Education experience.

Teachers--this is wonderful for Intermediate levels!

I have just about all of Lisa Harris cd's and this is one
of my favorites. There is so much variety, and the
the kids light up when they hear the songs they recognize.
I will be buying more of Lisa Harris' cd's in the future.
