Feb 21/22 West End - Drum/Dance courses start

Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...

6 week beginners drum course and 6 week dance course

We're structuring the drum/dance course thang differently this year. Its time for Josie to do a dedicated dance course. So rather than doing the drum and dance as one course we're holding them back to back on the same evening. For the drummers out there, I want to tell you that learning the dance is incredible for improving your drumming. Also, I believe that when we talk about the 'healing power of the drum' it actually largely refers to the healing power of dance, that good drumming allows people to dance in a way that helps shed layers of resistance and blockage. Having said that I certainly want to add that playing rhythm is also very good for one's state of being, it can be very healing on subtle levels.

6 x 1&1/2 hour classes drumming or dance.
Wed nights Feb 21st, 28th, Mar 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th.
