Kashani

Beginner Level 

Mondays*  5:30-7:00pm   $75/9 weeks - Next session January 11, 2010 to March 8, 2010.

This 90 min. class is held downtown Olympia at the beautiful Woman's Club (upstairs) 1002 Washington St, on the corner of 10th and Washington. We’ll start with warm-ups and stretches and progress to basic steps and step combinations. We’ll also learn some of the common rhythms of the Middle East and how to play them on finger cymbals (zills). You’ll also have the opportunity to learn some costuming and cultural information.

*This class is limited to 20 students.

Belly Robics 

Wednesdays 6:00 - 7:00 PM  $75 per 10 week session or $10 per class drop in fee. This class will run January 6, 2010 to March 10, 2010.

Drills, individual attention, step/step combos, no choreography.  Class focus in on technique and precision - must have taken a beginner class.  A great workout for everyone and a good review for more advanced students.  Class is at the Woman's Club  located at 1002 Washinton Street, downtown Olympia.

Class is limited to 10 students.

Mas Uda Studio (Lacey)



Middle Eastern band forming!

Bummed about the Rhythm Circle being cancelled? Want to play for dancers, with a great group of musicians?

Well, here’s your chance! Mas Uda recruited a great group of musicians to participate in Olympia's 2008 Procession of the Species parade. This friendly, down to earth group plans to continue playing music together, and perform with Mas Uda at various events in the future. A great opportunity to meet other local musicians, play music, and learn fun new stuff!

INTERESTED??? E-mail Kashani at berubej@comcast.net.  You need not be an experienced drummer.
