NYC DRUM SOLO WORKSHOP REPORT :: blanca

Carmine and I taught our NYC Drum Solo workshop this past Saturday. The group was lovely, look at all those beauties!

We had so much fun... Thanks to all the dancers who attended.

Here are a few of the comments we received:

"I have been taking BD lessons for over 2 years now and until Saturday, the rhythms were a total mystery to me. I loved the sound but had no idea what they were about. I feel like a whole new aspect to BD artistry was opened up for me."

"I wanted to tell you both how much I enjoyed the workshop yesterday. It was just what I needed to help get my creative juices flowing again after the cold winter. I think you are both excellent teachers with good explanations and very warm personalities. You both make the class very enjoyable and personal.

"Blanca, I love your notes! They are very well organized and thought out. I will use them as reference for a long time to come and share your ideas with my students as well."

"I really enjoyed the workshop. Very straightforward and thorough. Breaking down those riffs and hearing the drummer's perspective is invaluable. You are both great teachers."

"Dear Blanca, The workshop was really great. I had a lot of fun and it was a real treat to meet Carmine (he's so funny!) and to learn to "listen"... I learned so much. Please, more workshops!!!!!!"

Our next workshop is this Saturday: "Zils Technique" With Elsa Leandros— not to be missed!

Good comes to the good!
I believe that you and Carmine have so much to offer- and I'm very glad that your workshop was so well attended and so graciously appreciated. I've made it my "pet project' to encourage (cajole, nag, nudge...) my Long Island dancer friends to make the trip into "the city" and take advantage of workshops like this one. Keep up the good work, you kind, beautiful soul! :) Casey
