SATURDAY July 25, 2:30-4:30p
“Multi-tonal technique” is a finger cymbal method that accompanies Middle Eastern music in a euphonious way that feels as good as it sounds. Explore a variety of common rhythms found in belly dance music and learn some clever combos to bring out their true spirit. It is recommended that dancers bring finger cymbals that are at least 2.5-3” in diameter.
