      Souhail and Naia will guide both dancers and musicians through the fundamentals of communication and the  art of working together for an amazing performance. 

      Let Master Percussionist and Dance Coach Souhail Kaspar guide you in how to embody the body music and choose what sounds you show.  Follow  the Amazing Naia Amwaj, while she demonstrates and guides you to interpret music in your own way without relying on choreography.

      Have the rare and exciting opportunity to practice what you learned to live music as well as the movements used to show the tones and techniques used for drum solos.   The concept of layering the various movements to match the intricacies of what is heard in the music is explained in detail and practiced!   With this information you will be able to perform to live and/or unfamiliar music with a sense of comfort and conviction, being able to interpret “in the moment” what is being played.
       
      Mr. Kaspar teaches easily applied concepts rather than memorized choreography!

      Naia currently assists Mr. Kaspar with his unique workshops, Egyptian Rhythm and Movement for Raqs
      al-Sharqi (often referred to as belly dance) and Drum Solos for Dancers. Included amongst her many talents is her expertise in the dance form known as hula. Naia has received her training in Hawaii from the famous hula master, Kumu Blaine Kamalani Kia
      .  She has traveled extensively and worked with students from all over the world.
