Drumming for Belly Dance by Shahina

Dancers sometimes wonder why they should learn the intricacies of Middle Eastern drumming if they don't intend to drum themselves. In fact, every little bit you learn about drumming will improve your dance.

Eastern rhythms are so different from what our western ears are accustomed to that we may have a difficult time interpreting a piece of music to choreograph or improvise our own dance steps. As you learn, you will begin to hear the component parts of the music so that you can to dance to it properly.

I must warn you that once you begin drumming you are likely to become addicted, and you may find yourself drumming on tables, desks, steering wheels and everything else that comes within your reach!

The best selling CD in my store …and with good reason! A whole disk of drum solos by a world class drummer. Dancing this album completely through is a full day's aerobic workout.
