This workshop is designed for dancers of all levels, and styles. It is an invaluable tool for any dancer who wants to step their dance up to the next level. The challenge of dancing to Live Music is a special one, and something that every dancer can use in her performance career.
Master instructor Souhail Kaspar (www.neareastmusic.com), the originator of this unique style for teaching Traditional Arabic Dance, began his formal workshops in the United States in the 1980's. In this class, he serves as a teacher and coach for all levels and styles of dancers. Mr. Kaspar gives students the tools to "hear" Middle Eastern Rhythm and Music and the skills to match the traditional dance movements of Raqs al Sharqi to what they hear. His presentation style is clear, precise and fun!
Kashmir Isis of Los Angeles has been an avid student of the dance since the early 90's, having spent years carefully studying with local and international teachers in weekly classes and workshops. She is a graduate of the Ansuya Certification Program, and has performed with Live Musicians in and around Los Angeles since her debut in 1999. She will illustrate how the movements match the music to create a seamless performance and how to grow the skills and maintain them for use in different performance settings.

Re: Souhail Kaspar Drum Theory Workshop with co-teacher Kashmir
Thu, July 9, 2009 - 9:43 AMThis workshop is for ALL LEVELS and STYLES, not just Raqs Sharki! We will be covering Arabic Rhythms that are used throughout the world. Souhail is a great teacher who will lead you through the music, as I lead you through some of the basic movements. No previous rhythm work is necessary, you will take home a lot of great information. This class is going to be lots of fun. Bring your notebooks/journals and prepare to take lots of notes! Class handouts will include rhythm notations that are easy to understand, especially after submerging yourself in the music. There are still a few spaces left. See you there!! -
