Oct 11-13 Brisbane - Drum & Dance courses begin

Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...

3 week combined Drum and Dance course with Elliott and Josie.

In Africa drumming and dance are ONE, the rhythm and movement inseparable, the one mirrored in the other. These classes are dedicated to understanding this connection. Half of each class focuses upon the drumming & the other half upon the dance, as the rhythm is played by Elliott, Sana and friends. Participants are encouraged to learn both or may choose to focus on either side of this union.

3 x 2 hour classes.
Wed nights Oct 11th, 18th and 25th.
AHIMSA house, 26 Horan St. West End.
Cost is $55 for the course.
Drums are available for sale and to borrow by beginners.
