C.A.R.D. Grand Opening Open House and Jalsah! (events » live music) Saturday, February 21, 2009 - 4:00 PM 2 RSVPs Charlottesville Area Rhythm and Dance is opening a new studio on the historic downtown mall in Charlottesville, Virginia!

We will be continuing to offer classes in Drumming and Dancing in several different forms in our new space, and more new classes will probably be popping onto the radar soon.

In honor of our new space, which we love, we are holding an open house from 4pm to 6pm with people there from all of C.A.R.D.'s affiliated groups, such as Drum Call, Chihamba, Min el-Jbal el-Zarr'a, and Moua Vahine. Teachers from the drum classes will be available to answer questions and chat! There may even be dancers there doing their thing.

At 7pm, we are hosting a Jalsah! Bring your drum, bring your hipscarf, bring your instrument, but most importantly, bring yourself!!! Come join us and jam a while. This is a great way to meet other local musicians and just jam and let the music go where it will. For dancers this is an awesome opportunity to dance to live music! No pressure, no performing, just fun!

We are now located on the downtown mall; near 4th street, the Nook, Twisted Branch, and many more awesome places! You will find our door between Eppies and the Men and Boys shop, come on in and head down the stairs! Follow the drums and jingles!

Jalsah Richmond (events » community) Friday, September 25, 2009 - 7:00 PM Art6 and Charlottesville Area Rhythm and Dance (CARD) are hosting a monthly ‘Jalsah’, a gathering based on the Middle-Eastern tradition of joining together to share dance, live music, food, and socializing. This is open to all who would like to participate by playing an instrument (yes, this includes drums!) or dancing, or both. Even though the tradition is a Middle-Eastern one, everyone is welcome to attend and to bring some kind of music to play or a dance to share...or to simply experience this educational and cultural event. Instructional seminars (taught by members of the bellydance troupe min el-Jbal el-Zarr'a) on how to drum for dancers and on improvisational belly dancing to live music will take place from 7:00-7:45 (pre-registration is requested). This event will be held on Friday evenings from 7:00-9:30pm at art6 Gallery, 6 E. Broad St., on Sept. 25. A $5.00 donation is suggested.
