Rhythm Playground
A Frame Drum and Folk Dance Workshop
When: Saturday, August 3,
2 – 3:30 pm
Where: Inner Awareness, 657 Coal Hollow Rd.,
Christiansburg, VA
Come join Linda Macchia of the Beat Goes On and Jennifer Speiden of Inner Awareness for this all-levels drum and dance class in Christiansburg where you will learn how to connect to your natural rhythm and weave it with others to create a playful community rhythm tapestry.
We will be shaping this rhythm playshop around the celebratory rhythm saiidi which originates from the south of Egypt. You’ll be guided through a thoughtful warm-up to prepare your body and brain for drumming, learn the basics of lap style frame drumming, and explore how to weave those basics into the basic saiidi rhythm and a few of her variations. Then we will feel the rhythm even deeper by bringing it into our feet as we embody some fun, accessible saiidi inspired folk steps that dance in partnership with the rhythm.
Beginners are welcome, and no previous drum or dance experience is necessary. We all have a heartbeat and a body, so we all have rhythm and a dance to bring to this playground.
Cost: $15 paid in advance, $20 day of the class.
To reserve a spot and arrange pre-payment, please contact Jennifer at either (540) 552-2596 or [email protected]. If you need a drum, we have some extras you can borrow for the class. When you register for the event, please let us know you would like to borrow a drum, and we will make sure to reserve one for you.
