Drum and dance with us! Bring your drums, instruments, zils, hipscarves, whatever your musical talent, bring it on! Come and share the experience of jamming with live drums and melody instruments. If you play a melody instrument, please message me or Chip for more information and/or sheet music! Dancers, this is NOT a performance, it is a chance to dance freely with your fellow dancers! These events are so fun, and so good for the community! coming together and sharing and playing together...
Location is downtown Charlottesville, 414 E. Main, beneath the Twisted Branch Teahouse, in "Ourspace"
from 8pm until 11pm...
You're welcome to come early and help set up, we usually do that around 4:30 and then go find dinner somewhere on the mall together!
Suggested donation of $5 goes to C.A.R.D. (Charlottesville Area Rhythm and Drum) which helps to find teachers, troupes, and groups rehearsal space and class space in the Charlottesville area, along with other things, Chip has all the details! AND to benefit Ourspace, which is a collective artistic group that allows us to share in their space and events. Both are non-profit groups and are working to build better community with more opportunities for education.

Because the Raqia date has changed, I can go, it's after the end of tax season.
Please PM me if interested in carpooling and sharing hotel space.
I definitely want to take this workshop, I went last year and had a blast!
