Zill Drill Video
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
Just in time for Finger Cymbals week! A video from Afsana helping you get your triples up to snuff, as well as an ingenious way to get you to start working with the "1" in your music!
Reminds me of my old walking drills from back in the day. Time to pull those out this week!

The playfulness in this is ridiculously infectious. Are these women have the BEST time or what? But check out the MAD finger cymbal skills paired with some seriously challenging choreography, and you have a truly entertaining piece to start off your week! (Um, I don't know what all is going on at 2:00 and 3:36, but I sure want to find out!!)

Powerful Percussion
with guest instructors Helene Eriksen and Erik Brown
Thursdays 8:30-9:30pm
Helene Eriksen - Finger Cymbals: July 23 & 30, August 6
Erik Brown - Middle Eastern Drums: August 13, 20, 27
Helene Eriksen and Erik Brown will be sharing their talents with us as guest instructors in the next session of Skills n' Drills. This special session will be open to all levels and all styles--there is no minimum experience requirement on this session. You need not be a current student of mine to enjoy these incredibly fun classes!
The first three weeks will be an exploration of finger cymbals theory and practice, followed by three weeks of Middle Eastern drum rhythms and drills. Students will come away with new skills in integration of your left and right brain and body, some history of percussion around the world, recognizing common Middle Eastern rhythms in music, and of course lots of time to play play play!
A key to becoming a better dancer is to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of the rhythms we are driven by. So these classes will teach you not only some great new skills in zills and drumming, but will also enrich your dance!
Again, classes are open to all levels, all styles!
Registration is at http://www.mandalatribal.com/classes/register. The class is listed as "Thursdays Level 2b - Powerful Percussion" in the drop-down if registering through Paypal.
