Rhythms and Zils (Finger Cymbals)

Explore basic rhythms of Middle Eastern other bellydance music with movement and finger cymbals. Some belly dance experience is recommended.  Bring your own zils and/ or hand drums if you have them.


 

 

TURKISH ROM (Gypsy) STYLE DANCE

While certainly a major influence on Turkish Belly Dance, the Rom style is unique in that it is characterized by the use of footwork, culturally specific hand gestures, and an earthy feel. Music is usually in the 9/8 rhythm, played with hand drums such as the darbuka or doumbek, violin, ney, kanoon as well as prominent vocals.


We will explore the 9/8 rhythm, study specific movements, footwork and gestures characteristic of this dance form, and dance a brief improvisational style choreography.
ring: Skirt and hip scarves.
