The class is structured as it was requested by a lot of the advanced students.

What happened in one of these classes a couple of weeks back was that Fouad spent a few mins introducing the instrument, then a few minutes doing a solo on it before the dance teacher got everyone up and going through how to interpret the instrument. Right at the end some lady that want to could perform a taqsim of a couple of 2mins to the rest of the group, no pressure in performing.

We finished the class with a lively percussion to wake everyone up.

Very nice event. Keep us posted.
