Essential Belly Dance Drum Solo Technique

The drum solo is one of belly dance’s most exciting and sought after moments!

 

The energy of the rhythm and the dancer’s ability to make it look as though the drum accents are literally coming out of her body are part of what make this element of belly dance so very magical.

 

You don’t need a bunch of new movements to be able to begin to execute a finely tuned drum solo, but you do need to know how to do them in a way that will best accentuate your music!

 

In this video I will take you through some essential ideas to help you create the crisp, sharp and powerful movements most often seen in the belly dance drum solo. We’ll work though a few specific movements and then you can use this new knowledge and apply it to other moves in your vocabulary to make them drum solo accent ready!
