Ballet Class Music

Written in the room, not at a desk.

Fifth Position publishes sheet music and recordings drawn directly from real ballet class accompaniment — improvised at the piano, then notated exactly as played.

Built for teachers who want music that already understands the counts, the phrasing, and the character a step needs.

Shop

Sheet music & recordings, sold by rhythm and by exercise.

Each piece will come as a printable score and a studio-quality recording — organised so a teacher can find the right tempo and character without wading through a whole catalogue.
