******If there is enough interest, I will run a 7 - 8 pm "performance oriented" class (starting in the 2nd session) with a max of 6 people; we will not actually be performing, but these classes will give you a taste of what it feels and sounds like to play in a small group with 3 duns and 2 - 3 djembes only, and we will work more intensely on weaving rhythms and using breaks + some solo techniques. A different group of 5 - 6 can register for each session. Please email Monica before Feb 18th to express interest and reserve your spot; first come, first served!*********

That's it folks! Stay tuned for special upcoming guest workshops!
