Zach Beery
Zach Beery has been drumming for 10 years and is currently inspired by the work of Mark Bell and Issam Houshan. He has taken lessons in North African, Turkish, and Indian percussion leading to travels to Morocco, Turkey, and India. This has made it possible to add live music to Sacred Shimmy`s live show since 2005 and causing dancers a new love affair with live drumming.
Workshop #1: Dancing and Drumming Together
In this class Angie Never and drummer Zach Beery will explore 8 common rhythms of the arab world and how one might explore dance steps to these drum beats. As a drummer, one can find the basic groove to help your dancing friends enjoy the thrill of movement, and we will know we are doing a good job when the smiling starts. As a dancer, one can find the downbeat in the groove and where to start your dancing feet with some simple combos. Dancers and drummers of all skill levels are welcome, and the class will run according to who would like to attend.
