I will be teaching a workshop this Wednesday at The Studio. Workshop starts at 8pm.
The workshop will be suitable for levels beginner through advanced-intermediate, but beginners should have some experience and should expect to be challenged.

For more info about the location or to arrange for borrowing a drum, pm me.

We had not planned to perform together, but as you can see it turned out really well.
Christy is director of Sulukule, one of the most innovative troops in the southeast, in my humble opinion. She also knows a WHOLE LOT about the dance!

P.S.: If anyone can help me with embedding youtube videos on tribe, you will have my eternal gratitude!

We will cover the basics, and the more advanced students will learn advanced strikes, fills, and authentic embelishments.
It IS ok to attend with a different kind of drum. You won't get the full effect of the technique portion of the class, but the rhythm section will help you understand how to fit in with this style of percussion.
