Belly Dancing Choreographies
Dancing with cymbals
Our Intermediate and Advanced Levels Students learn how to play cymbals and dance with them. As we become skillful we dance choreographies as Festive Drums with cymbals.
Cymbals connect us to the Goddess Cybele, an Anatolian Mother Goddess,also known as Great Mother in the Ancient Greece and Rom. In temple dances priestesses were playing this musical instruments to invoke the Goddess by the sound of cymbals.
