Holidays & Celebration

Curtis A. Probel, Pianist

A multi-cultural CD that includes Chinese songs, Jewish

music, and lots of Christmas!

Christmas, Jewish, Chinese, and African-American music has been

chosen, for a multi-cultural approach to December or whenever classes. 

Mr. Probel plays wonderfully with his distinctive and fun style.  This CD

has full class format with repeated tracks. There are 7 Allegro tracks for

jump combinations on this CD.

"We first heard this unique CD in July and our dancers were excited by

the music they were familiar with and fascinated to learn the ones they

didn't already know. Great fun in December or anytime!"
