Rythms Workshop

WORKSHOPS SCHEDULE  AND CONTENTS


This will be an intensive study of rhythms & their
correlation to dance

       Learn basic Middle Eastern rhythms used by dancers
       Learn to play them on the drum, tambourine and zills.
       Be able to identify them in music.
       Be able to dance to them

It is important for dancers to recognize these rhythms and be able to
respond to them appropriately. Being able to play the rhythms enforces them
and helps the dancer incorporate them in the body. The purpose of this
workshop is not to make you a drummer or a riq player, but to better equip
you to dance.

Sunday, March 15: Beledi, Saidi, Maqsoum, Masmoudi and Kashlimar Rhythms

Wednesday, April 22: Ayub, Chifte Telli & Review of previous

Both Workshops: Blending rhythms together/transitions/dancing to the rhythms

Wednesday, April 22       7:30-9:00, A Common Ground Too,
