“Few months ago, while the Iranian -Israeli political relationship was on edge of war, few Israeli and Iranian people posted on facebook to each other-“we love you, we’ll never bomb you”… pretty soon there were many more Israeli and Iranian posting these human, loving messages to each other.
As it got viral I was inspired to create a concert with Israeli, palestinian and Iranian musicians so we can share the message , remind others that governments are not always for people and we have all to share and care for each other and the planet, to support a creative, supportive, harmonious, peaceful and loving lives…
With the help of Julia Gilden I’m so honored and exited to be sharing with these most amazing people and musicians:
Yair Dalal, Naser Musa, Hamid Saeidi, Miriam Peretz-dancer , Dror Sinai.

Intro to Hand Drums
For Dancers & Their Friends
Sundays at 4:00pm November 4, 11, 18 and December 9, 16, 2012
Instructional Workshop with Dror Sinai
Empower yourself and your troupe of friends with beats! This workshop is for anyone interested in hand drums, music, dance, healing, awareness, fun and inspiration. No previous experience is necessary.
Focus is on Middle Eastern/North African style drumming. The first 3 classes will touch on each individual drum: Frame Drum, Riq (Middle Eastern tambourine) and Doumbek. During the last two sessions we will put it all together, create an orchestra, perhaps drumming to a song, or learning a choreography Piece. Please bring your own drums if you have them. There will be a few to share. If you don’t have one, please don’t let the lack of a drum keep you away.
We will learn:
- How each instrument is made plus information about the culture that it springs from
- How to create different sounds using a variety of hand techniques
- How to create harmonious, fun rhythms
- Tips on being grounded and aware of yourself while simultaneously being in sync with the group energy.
- We will gain “tools” that support the rhythms of life
…all this in a fun relaxed atmosphere!
Join us for an opportunity to learn from a great drummer, right here in the South Bay!
“To me, drumming is really about life, breathing, conversation, relationship, harmony, and fun to awaken the senses…”
Location: Halanda Dance Studio,
1062 Lincoln Ave San Jose (Willow Glen), CA
Five class series: $120 for invaluable instruction that will improve your confidence and ability as a Middle-Eastern dancer!
