Before becoming a dancer, Ryan grew up playing percussion and he is excited to be teaching a beginning Cuban percussion class again after many years. The class is designed for everyone, no previous musical experience (or dance experience) is necessary. We will focus primarily on rhythmic exerices using the conga drum and sticks, but we will also touch on other instruments such as güiro, clave, palitos, and more. Ryan will bring all of his conga drums to share but depending on the number of students that attend there may not be drums for everyone — if you have your own drum please bring it (no obligation to share with other students).
