Followed by a weekend Seminar of "Rhythm and Movement" with Souhail Kaspar:

**A workshop for Belly Dancers and Drummers of all levels**

Souhail Kaspar is a master percussionist, known worldwide for his

brilliant technique, exciting performances, and teaching skills. Born in Lebanon and trained at Nadi al-Fonun al-Arabia (Conservatory of Traditional Arabic Music) in Aleppo, Syria, he excelled in both classical and ethnic rhythmic patterns and techniques, and received a Degree in Classical Arabic Performance. He has traveled extensively during his 34-year career and has performed with artists such as Sting and Kenny Burrell, and with Arabic superstars such as Sabah, Feiruz, Cheb Mami, George Wassouf, Ragheb Alama, Kathem Al-Saher, and Faiza Ahmed. Additionally, he has an impressive body of recorded work, including credits on the soundtracks for the movies The Prince of Egypt and Sinbad. A true virtuoso, Souhail?s ability to improvise and embellish the rhythmic patterns of Arabic music, as well as his knowledge of ethnic musical history, have made him one of the most highly acclaimed performer/instructors of our day, and it is a rare opportunity to study with such a true Master. Congratulations to Mr. Kaspar on this year?s Grammy Award Nomination for Best Traditional World Music Album!
