It's in the Pennsic U book- and will be in Haberci (THANKS Nazirah!)... but I figure posting here as well might be handy :)
My classes.

Call of the Drum - Goblet shaped drums and their rhythms are the backbone to Middle Eastern music. Drum solos are an integral part of traditional social dancing and shows. Learn what to look for in Arab style fadi (drum solo), learn traditional ways to respond to the different parts of the solos. We will also cover multiple shimmies and drills for isolations and shimmies - to take your initiation out of your knees! A drum solo CD will be available for sale.

Traditional Rhythms and Musicality- Responding as Arabs respond to rhythms and instrumentation is integral to traditional Middle Eastern dance styles. Through the use of a classic oriental pieces with multiple changes learn how to respond to typical rhythms and instrumentation. We will cover ideas to help you improvise comfortably or create choreographies that "make sense". We will also learn combos, techniques, vocabulary, and culture. A couple fabulous takht (all acoustic instrument) band CDs will be available for sale. One with two full oriental shows, one taqsim based.

If you're interested in a Zar CD let me know and I can bring some of those, too.
I'll also have availability for a couple private classes.

Carmine and I are teaching together for musicians and dancers to work together. Those are also in the Middle Eastern Tent, 8/1 and 8/3 at 5pm. He will have CDs and videos for sale.
