Hi, everyone, I wanted to give a little more information about the Drum Solo workshop with Souhail on May 4th. I get a lot of questions about the format of the class, so here's some more info. I've been to several of them and they're pretty cool! I'll be there helping with live percussion for you gals to practice to. Here is the class description, and see below for the current special discount package. =)
Drum Solo for Dancers:
Learn to dance to common riffs and rhythms during a live drum solo!
Souhail has coached hundreds of dancers and drummers across the nation with his patient teaching style. He uses a traditional Egyptian format for teaching Raqs al Sharqi in which the dancer visually portrays Middle Eastern music through their dance.
In this class, you will become familiar with common rhythms and drum combinations used in live drum solos, with repetition of the rhythms so you can lock in different combinations. Souhail will give each student personal advice on how to really make their movements *pop* with the accents and downbeats of the solo. A good drum solo compliments the drummer and the dancer, and in this class you will learn to really enhance your own style for a killer drum solo!
All skill levels are welcome in this class! Continuing students, please bring your questions about drum solo interpretation. The class can be catered to your requests. The workshop will be held at Naj's Bellydance Shoppe on Cave Creek Rd south of Greenway on Sunday, May 4th at 12:30.
