joyofdance Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi. I wonder if anyone could suggest some classical ballet music that has a Spanish influence. I'm not looking for a repertoire piece from any of the famous ballets but that's all I seem to be able to find when I search. Any suggestions of either the music or a good place to search would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it so moving, I initially thought that it might not be upbeat but I listened to the full version and it's really fantastic.

Pups_mum Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Also, if it has to be Spanish inspired rather than actually Spanish you might want to consider works by the contemporary Mexican composer Arturo Marquez -he has written lots of lively dance music.

Dance*is*life Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I discovered quite by chance on youtube a spanish piece by Elgar! It's called Sevillana Scene Espagnole. I used it for my pointe dance last recital and it was a huge success! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrothbart Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) I learnt to play "Malaguena" on the guitar, and always imagined a dancer as I played it. Do you know it's been a while but I just might get the duster out, and give it another go. Have a look. https://youtu.be/8B6jOUzBKYc Oh by the way, I wasn't as good as this guy, he lost me after about a minute.

joyofdance Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We went for a piece of music from a repertoire piece in the end. We have chosen the music from the Spanish dance in Swan lake. It's very lively and will be fun to dance to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
