Cymbals, Sticks & Stomps
Workshops with Karim Nagi of Turbo Tabla
Saturday, May 10, 2008
co-sponsored by Aubre (323.868.7111 or aubre@aubredance.com)
1-3PM SAGAT: Using the techniques of the Egyptian Sufi Zikr, Karim will present the sills as a classical instrument and not simply a dance accessory. Karim has developed a comprehensive sill method that utilizes drum techniques and an ambidexterous approach. Students will learn the Arabic rhythms by name and how to play them wile dancing! Dancers will learn to use the cymbals to communicate rhythms to a band and accent solo dancing and body movements. Dance combinations with cymbals will be taught. Dancers and percussionists of all levels are welcome. Karim promises to transform dancers into musicians with his finger cymbal teaching approach.
3:30-5:30PM ARAB FOLK DANCE INTENSIVE: 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 by extrapolated into performance-calibre skills and themes. (Please bring a straight cane and sneakers or dance shoes for this class.)

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 4:15 PMThank you everyone for coming to these fantastic workshops! What a wonderful day full of dance and music! And huge thanks to Karim for being such an incredible and giving teacher. You rock!!!
For those of you whom were not able to make it, I can't recommend Karim's workshops enough. He's coming from such a knowledgeable place, but also deeply understands how to make it digestible for everyone no matter what their experience level. Keep an eye on this one!
