WORKSHOP 1 DRUMMING FOR DANCERS & DANCING FOR DRUMMERS

(drummers and dancers together): This revolutionary class will bring dancers and drummers together, to teach them how to perform and interact. The drummers will learn the famous Arabic rhythms, phrases, and drum solo themes. The dancers will learn how to respond to each rhythmic phrase, how to coordinate their body isolations with each drum passage, and how to dance properly with a drum solo. Both dancers and drummers will learn how to both lead and follow each other. Improvisation will be taught, as well as how to develop an entire Drum Solo Dance routine, with a perfect climax and finale ending !

WORKSHOP 2 ARAB FOLK DANCE

This class is an intensive introduction to the traditional group dances from the Arab world.

These dances are primarily unisex, and emphasize synchronicity and group cohesion.

This workshop includes Dabka Line Dance,

Basic Tahteeb/Assaya Cane Dance,

and the group-healing ritual motions found in Zikr and Zar practices.

Each dance is taught efficiently as an introduction to the style, and is an initiation into possible future study. These dances are less glamourous than the performance-oriented heroism of the solo dances found in the Arab world. These are the dances done by "The People" in social, celebratory, and spiritual group settings. They can be taught to dancers at any level, as both a cultural and artistic experience. The group movements and concepts can later be extrapolated into performance-calibre skills and themes.
