Featuring Souhail Kaspar, Master Percussionist
2008 Grammy Nominee & the Amazing Naia Amwaj
|  |
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! www.neareastmusic.com & rhythmandmovement.weebly.com
