Do you feel like you can't play finger cymbals and dance at the same time? This workshop is for you!

The Cymbalist Movement: Integrating Finger Cymbals into Your Dance
Experience Level: Intermediate beginner and above.
April 19, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Finger cymbals are an integral part of American Tribal Style bellydance, and can be a lovely accompaniment to a solo performance. However, many dancers often feel daunted by cymbal playing and have been using them less and less… Finger cymbals aren't scary, and this workshop will help you approach cymbals as an instrument and as a way to enhance your performance. With the right exercises, anyone can play cymbals and dance! Asharah will lead you through an intense warm up, teach drills that layer movements and cymbal playing, introduce common cymbal patterns found in Middle Eastern music, and teach a short dance combination focusing on the playing of your cymbals with the music and your movements.
