Russian Ballet Music

Enter the music of Russian Circles

Advantages: Strong debut album, well chained together songs
Disadvantages: Ends too abruptly, for some it may take some getting used to

Russian Circles are a three piece, post rock band from Chicago. And this is their debut album 'Enter' a mixture of melodic melodies and heavy riffs. Now, even though the whole album clocks up to only six songs, you're still getting your money's worth from this album, clocking up to just over 44 min of instrumental bliss. Plus, I'll describe every single track seeing as there is only six of them.

I had an opportunity to do this with a short night school course as a teenager, which whetted my appetite to study it further. One of the advantages of the course at Portsmouth was that you could learn the language ab initio. The other parts of the course sounded fascinating too, as it included ...

Why Ballet Is Just Like Ciao

Advantages: Fun to do and good for you, enjoyable to watch
Disadvantages: Kills your feet, and only certain body types can really be successful

with cats), cabriole, assemblé and jeté. Lots of bouncing (and we all know by now how much I like bouncing, don’t we?). Most bon. Naturally not all steps fit into one of these. I would say to refer to the other ops in this category, but since this is the first I’ll say look at any new ops if and when they do appear * What’s with the French ? * Ballet is French, or so some say (others say it’s Russian. Yet others claim it’s American, but then you can guess where the people claiming that come from). It originated over there many many years ago, and to keep it “mysterious” and “exotic”, many moves have retained their French names. With my exam board, we were even given vocab tests with our exams (I loved these, sad I know, but it’s true) and had little blue books from which to ...
