If, however, weather or instructor illness force more than 2 weeks of cancellations, credits for any missed classes above the initial 2 will be issued to those students requesting them.

TaKeTiNa is an embodied, collective rhythm process using your senses: voice, simple steps, and claps.
Come along to fall into, and out of, rhythm.
Discover how you learn, and learn something new.
We each are alive with rhythm:
a beating heart,
breathing rate,
times to sleep,
time to be aware.

We were challenged and we had FUN! There's nothing like having a master djembefola teach authentic rhythms -- we were honoured to have Koca teach us a version of Tiriba / Basikolo that he had never shared before, along with the story of how it originated in his family! Such a treat!
Be sure to watch this space for future camps, and check out Koca & Sasha's website: kundaculture.com<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMmDdhN4MfBk5bb3hE-zIb_wlP89DFOcPEdATIbQYyLrjLRuhrBFrUruYAn5Ni_Z1ws__QDnQg64P-TtAQg-UMERQWdVO0bh2QAInItqbXdi7ZkfMuIdYNCx1zYis-46lK4g7a09Hi_aPRxnEj5z7muWobEF17fL6Ct2zLr0laZhXEHDeIqNu_2yu/s4032/IMG_0393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Buckets are becoming very popular! I am offering a session of Bucket Drumming for brand new bucketeers from November 7 through December 19th. This 7 class session will serve as a way for "newbies" to learn the basics without being thrown into the advanced class without the benefit of having had a beginners class behind them! At some point, the two groups will likely merge: but in the meantime, let's have some fun at our respective, appropriate levels!<br />
Classes will be Wednesdays from 12 noon - 1 pm! Please round up some friends! This class will only run if there are enough participants!<br />
Drumming is so great for the brain! Come out and see why you feel energized, balanced and full of smiles after a bucket drumming session! So accessible, all you need to bring is a bucket of any size (from bathroom-sized garbage cans to yard-sized, and anywhere in between!)......<br />
