Week 2 and flying high

9/8/2013

Loving the beginning of this term. What a great energy we have in the class and with the continuation of the African Dance Classes, Thursday's evenings are the highlights of my working week.

This term I am trying to bring in some of the new rhythms that I have learnt from King Marong and off The Rhythm Reference Project files that I downloaded last year. These new rhythms have consisted of Sonsornet, Calipso and Sinte.

I am loving how quick everyone is picking up the parts and breaks. I cannot wait unto next week :)
