      – You will be taught to play a Duff (frame drum) and read basic music for percussion.- You will be learning the art musical interpretation in dance. You will become an expert in the portrayal of the various parts of the music. You will also learn the various styles of the dancers who pioneered this art form as we know it today
    • Plus 6 (six) GROUP CLASSES where we will concentrate on the understanding of musical layers in choreography and how to break down each piece of music. Moreover, the students will be learning basic techniques and choreographies for developing their own styles amalgamating all the above knowledge.

The response to your homework will be sent by email.
    • Correction regarding the homework will be re-assessed on the following class.

LENGTH OF THE COUSE

The classes in this course will be scheduled every 3 (three) weeks and between each class you will have some homework to study, practice and present.

This will be in addition to the time it will take to prepare for the end of course Graduation Show and presentation.
