News from FatChanceBellyDance

Learn the choruses from the folkloric songs of Helm's recordings, thus acquiring a deeper understanding of Middle Eastern culture and musical styles.

Ling Shien will go over the rhythms and modes used in a particular song, as well as the meaning of the words and voice warm-ups for each particular song.

Since acquiring good singing skills will take time, we are expanding this singing workshop to meet once a month, stay tuned for future plans.

This class replaces Drills and Improv on Sat 7 May.

$20, drop in.

You will leave this class armed with the tools to begin your home practive and add the fine art of finger cymbals to your dance vocabulary.
