Rhythm fundamentals with Finger Cymbals
The way for a dancer to really solidify their knowledge and memory of Middle Eastern rhythms is to be able to play them. Take the beat out of the ether and into your sagat! This workshop can be adjusted to the organizer's need for time length and will teach Arabic rhythms useful for bellydancers, starting with the most used and continuing through those used in folkloric dance. Dancers will not only be able to play them but identify them within music and walk away with a solid and applicable skill set and notes and tips on musicality. Participants should come with their own finger cymbals already strung, fit, and ready to play.
