Catherine Tully's Review of Ellina Akimova's Music for Ballet Class CD (IV)

A few weeks ago, while browsing Catherine Tully's website 4dancers.org I noticed that Catherine was accepting dance products for review. I decided to give it a try and sent her one of Mediaphorie's Music for Ballet Class CD : The Volume IV of Ellina Akimova Dance Accompaniment Collection.
The review has just been published:
Catherine Tully's Review: "I have listened to this CD now over 30 times and am currently using it for my adult ballet class. I have found it to be very refreshing–the compositions are original and extremely well-played by Ms. Ellina Akimova. There is music here for an entire ballet class, and the barre tracks are all repeated for the convenience of the instructor."
