SIZZLING SUMMER WORKSHOPS!


Summer is around the corner! Come celebrate our freedom dance with Indepen-DANCE workshops with Issam and DeVilla at DanceGardenLA!"


Name that Rhythm

Issam and DeVilla - Sunday July 9th - 11-12:30 pm Sunday July 9th 11-12:30 Middle Eastern musical rhythms are ancient and profound. They call us from our seats, beg us to sway, dance and lose ourselves in the music. In this workshop Issam will teach us the structure of some of these rhythms and help us, the dancers, better understand how to interpret them through our dance. DeVilla will guide the dancers through corresponding combinations that will be crafted together to create a short dance. This will help dancers better understand how to interpret these beautiful rhythms, feel more comfortable when dancing to them and more confident dancing to them live. All Levels encouraged!


How to Dance to a Live Drummer

Issam and DeVilla - Sunday July 9th - 1-2:30 pm The interaction between a drummer and a dancer should be intense yet joyful. As a dancer, how do you know what to dance to with a live drummer? How do you know when he is going to change rhythms? Should you cue the drummer? As a musician, how long should you repeat a phrase? Should you control the dancer's direction? In this workshop you will learn the answers to these questions and much more. This is a unique interactive workshop featuring Issam and DeVilla. Ideal for dancers and musicians. Beginner to advanced. All Levels encouraged!
