Hello, I’m Robert Long (to reach me, go to “Contact” in the Menu). Welcome to my video page.
The first section features ballet instruction videos accompanied by music from my albums, to demonstrate how different ballet teachers make use of the music.
The next section consists of videos published by me from my three albums of ballet class music: Ballet Etudes (released in 2000), Etudes II (2005) and Ballet Class Music: Etudes Volume 3 (2013). (The final nine videos at the bottom are new pieces hopefully for a future album.)
These albums have been specifically designed for ballet teachers and ballet class students, with selections for complete barre and center floor practice.
Visit my home page for numerous other options, CD, download, stream and sheet music (or refer to the menu above)
Please Note: The sound quality on some of these videos is not great (that’s not why they were made). All of my albums were professionally produced and have professional sound quality.
