No need to ‘fight the elements’ or waste time finding a parking space; join me from the comfort of your home for an immersion into delicious combos integrating the essentials* of rhythms & movements dating back to the days when transmission of the Art of Being Feminine was revealed through the Dances of the Goddess.

Discover the mystique of expressive dance with origins dating back to ancient times. Move your hips and torso in circular patterns as we spiral to the Divine Creatrix residing within *YOU*.

My lesson plan for the Fall includes sharing finger cymbal technique to the popular Arabic melody Ya Ayn Mulayiitayn ala the recording titled Shashkin by Omar Faruk Tekbilek fm his CD Mystical Garden. (Şaşkın (Turkish) translates as “dazed” or “bewildered”). I am super excited to share the thrill of the zill*❣️

*PLEASE NOTE: This is a beginner-friendly class welcoming newcomers as well as ‘seasoned pros’ to the Tahya Technique.

NOTE: If you don’t already have a set of 4 finger cymbals, please look into it and if you need a recommendation, check out my website Resources page.
Also, I invite you to review the “Intro to Finger Cymbals with Tahya” video at my website’s “Sacred Rhythms” page!
