In this class we will use music exclusively from the House of Tarab CD’s as well as drum solo work with Erik Brown. Both CD’s contain traditional Belly Dance music from the Golden Age of belly dance. All belly dancers even if they are currently dancing to non traditional music should be familiar with the classic genres if they want to be considered knowledgeable belly dancers. At the start of the performance series each dancer will be assigned a song to perform to in our evening recital on Friday night February 26th. 7:30-10:00 (Live music elements by House of Tarab maybe present otherwise you will use the CD.) As you sign up you can request a first and second choice of a song to be your music in the recital. First come first serve. Otherwise you will have to draw from a hat. During the 6 weeks you will get to know it very well!
