Hi all,

This is just a reminder that myself and Tim Gerwing, Harem's drummer, will be teaching a drumming workshop this Sunday at Ammara Dance Studio in New Westminster. This is the first of 2 workshops focusing on drumming and dancing. You can take either one or both. Hope to see you there!

These workshops are for drummers and dancers alike! No drumming experience is necessary. Over the four hours, you will learn: how to read Arabic rhythms, essential rhythms for Arabic music, how to dance to each rhythm, how to compose a drum solo, and how drummers and dancers work together to create a dynamic performance. This is a rare opportunity for dancers to study with an experienced LIVE drummer so don't miss out!
NOTE: Please bring your own drum - if you require one, please email info@ammara.ca no later than one week prior to class to make arrangements for rental.
Workshop 1 - Sunday, July 12, 1pm - 3pm
