Lise de la Salle

Pianist Lise de la Salle has been surrounded by dance her whole life, so it's no surprise that her most recent musical project has her dancing up and down the piano. On today's episode of PT, Lise de la Salle plays an eclectic series of dances, from a recent concert in Frederiksvaerk, Denmark.
