Message from Carolena

 

Greetings!
Happy Winter from sunny but chilly California. I wanted to update you on the shipping dates for Vol. 9 Anatomy of a Step and the revised Vol. 3 Zils Yin and Yang. Vol. 9 is at the manufacturer and will hopefully ship in less than 10 days. Vol. 3 is in the final editing and we anticipate shipping mid-Jan 2012.

You can still pre-order now for a $5 discount.
We'll have digital downloads available when the titles release as well. 

...

I am done traveling for the year and am looking forward to a quiet holiday at home.

I wish you peace and happiness.

... 

Look

here for what's going on in 2012..  


Enjoy!

and a chance to win the FCBD® zils

used in the filming of Yin and Yang!

Estimated delivery is Jan 2012. 

 

Zils, or Finger Cymbals are an exciting element to add to the dance, but they can be difficult to master.  

The key to success is repetition without stress.

 

Join Carolena for a workshop that will explain:

Which zils are best for you

Yin and Yang-the ergonomics of playing your zils

Feeling the pulse of the music

Playing three basic patterns and two specialty patterns
