Dear Dancers & Musicians.
I want to invite you to a RARE opportunity to study with Master teachers of Arabic Dance & Music.
On July 14 & 15, Souhail Kaspar (Master of Arabic Percussion), Rachid Halihal (renowned oudist) and Dahlena, an American bellydance icon will be teaching AND performing in Silver Spring, MD.
Classes Include:
1) Souhail’s Drum Solo for Dancer’s: Spice up your drum solo! Souhail will help you break down common riffs in drum solos and know how to dance to them. This is your chance to work with a Master drummer, but don’t be nervous! Souhail is friendly, approachable and fun! You will leave this class with a better understanding of drum solos, Arabic rhythms and how to work with live musicians.
This class will improve your solos whether improvised or choreographed!
2) Classic Egyptian Technique & Choreography with Dahlena: Folks, this is a chance in a lifetime to study with someone who was dancing the cabaret shows in N.Y., L.A. & Chicago in the 70's, who performed with Bobby Farrah, & worked in Iraq & Syria...We will be using Gana el Hawa with Abdel Halim Hafezfor the choreography
3) Modern Saidi with Dahlena - Learn technique and steps to a modern Saidi song to enhance your cabaret performance!
4) Beginning, Intermediate & Advanced Tabla (Dumbek) & Arabic Riqq workshops with Souhail: Learn from the Master himself. Again, do not be intimidated! Souhail is one of the best teachers I have ever met in explaining and teaching Classic Egyptian Technique. All levels of percussionist can benefit from his teaching.
5) Arabic Instrumental Ensemble Classes with Rachid Halihal: Learn an Arabic song, including maqams (Arabic musical scales) & taqsims (improvisations within a maqam). All instruments & levels welcome, includes handouts. Students will learn a piece to perform in Sunday’s hafla.
