Live drum solos are the thrill-ride of belly dance performance, for both the audience and the dancer! You go from hearing to moving in what seems like an impossibly short time – but it’s far from impossible when you have the right mental tools… solid strategies.
With these concepts, you can teach your body to be fluent in translating the drum on the spot – and have a fantastically fun time doing it!
These strategies are every bit as applicable if you do choreography – you go through the same process, but with luxury of time.
Drummer, Jason Weidman will be joining us for this very special class as Mahin fills your mental toolbox with practical concepts that will take you from intimidated to inspired and ready for your live drum solo!

- 8 unique strategies for creating movement for drum riffs/phrases
- Good dancer/drummer communication skills during a live drum solo
