6 Week Intensive: Virtual & in-person
Develop yourself as a performer, bellydancer, and frame drummer in this live performance project! Learn and perform April Rose’s signature Dance Cohesion system for bellydancing while playing the frame drum. You’ll learn to play frame drum in the upright style, several bellydance rhythms, and a way to link rhythms together improvisationally with others. We’ll add bellydance movements to our drumming, master some Dance Cohesion bellydance combinations, and put together an ensemble performance of bellydance with a frame drum that highlights each dancer!
If you are a bellydancer who feels the call of the frame drum (or a frame drummer who feels the desire to dance) and you want to practice and perform alongside April Rose with an ensemble of like-hearted dancer percussionists, then you are going to love this experience!
