two way thinking!
★★★★★
“
As described in Karen's book dance and music are two different art forms and each has a different language. Dance is a form of visual expression using body movements and music is one of audio expression using musical structures. How do we make a good connection between these two art forms and make them into a perfect piece of art and how do we transfer the meaning of body shapes and movements into musical shapes and structure? Karen demonstrates these two ways of thinking in her book and points out the necessary rules we should be aware of in ballet class giving the possible tools which she has discovered and nurtured during her rich career in playing for dance. Additionally she demonstrates deep thoughts with audio and video examples which makes these books even more beneficial and giving an inner view into dance accompanist's profession.”
