If you have very little to no experience in hand drumming this is the BASIC beginnings of hand drumming bellydance rhythms. No pressure, just fun! You will need to bring a tabla, djembe, or other goblet-shaped drum. We do have a few loaners, if you don't have access to a drum, ask that one be set aside for you.

Happy possibility...

Help us 'win' a band for the evening-

IF our local votes beat out other voting towns. 'Falling in Two' a rock band from Fayetteville NC. will play for us.
How you can help win 'our' band-

1. Visit www.myspace.com/fallingintwo and vote (listen to samples too)
2. send a messege- that serves as 'your vote', saying that 'Falling in Two' should 'play for the Bellydance Raks event in DURHAM!'
3. convince your friends to 'vote' too! Even if they do not attend the event, we need votes!


It won't cost you anything more to attend this rock show, if 'our' community WINS the gig! How cool is that!?
