For the dancer, the drum solo is a uniquely exciting experience demanding a profound understanding of rhythmic patterns and a wide vocabulary of bellydance moves and accents, all necessary to enable her to interact at will with the music created by the drummer.\n\nRhythm Workshop: Raquy breaks apart eight popular bellydance rhythms: baladi, saiidi, maksoum, masmoudi, ciftetelli, malfouf, ayub, \u0026amp; semai. Acclaimed as a percussion performer, instructor and composer, Raquy teaches us how to recognize each rhythm. Then Jenna, a star dancer, instructor and choreographer, demonstrates effective dance combinations for each of the 8 rhythms. Accompanied by Raquy and Carmine, Jenna then also demonstrates the unique art of drum solo improvisation including the above rhythms.\n\nChoreography Workshop: Jenna takes you step-by-step through THREE bellydance drum solo choreographies; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each instructional session takes place before the mirror, enabling you to follow Jenna as if you were right behind her in the studio. On screen, a beat counter accompanies choreographic demonstrations. Choreography breakdown sections separate each dance into numbered combinations, and provide titles naming each move. The Learn and Practice section offers a step by-step breakdown of each combination and a presentation of the choreography from the top with practice repetitions inserted, so you can follow Jenna and learn the steps in real time.\n\nThe DVD also contains a warmup sequence recommended before learning or practicing, and Jenna's famous Shimmy Drills: the Shimmy Layering Drill, and her 3\/4 Shimmy Drill. The drills are fun mini-exercise routines to help you learn and build on the art of the shimmy, one of the most colorful and vibrant bellydance moves.\n\nDrum solo choreographies workshop:\nThree choreographies performed and taught by Jenna\n* beginner (drum solo #1 by Mogador band, NYC from the \"Bellydancing for Fortune and Fame\" CD)\n* intermediate (drum solo #2 by Mogador band, NYC from the \"Bellydancing for Fortune and Fame\" CD)\n* advanced (drum solo Duelling Darbukas from \"Raquy and the Cavemen - \"Jordan\"CD)\n\nPURCHASE CDs with drum solo tracks used in Jenna's choreographies: * Bellydancing for Fortune and Fame CD * Raquy and the Cavemen - Jordan CD\n\nAbout the Actor\n\nTrained in ballet and modern dance, JENNA has studied middle-eastern dance since 1991 in California \u0026amp; New York, and lived in Turkey for a year.
