The Summit Afro Cuban/African
drum and dance workshop, May 19 - 23, 2005
The Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada
| Just a reminder to get
your registrations in for The Summit Afro Cuban/African drum and dance
workshop soon...we need deposits by March 15th to hold the rooms. Space is
tight at the Banff Centre during this time (the International Jazz
Workshop is happening simultaneously) so if we can’t promise them the
numbers we need by the 15th of March, we will have to cancel the workshop.
We have some registrations and lots of interest...it is those of you who
are interested who we need to act now! Go to www.decidedlyjazz.com and
click on The Summit for registration forms. Some updates... Toto Berriel will not be able to join us to teach the percussion classes but Michael Spiro from San Francisco will be our new percussion faculty member. Many of you know of Michael, I am sure, but for more info about him, go to: http://members.aol.com/mspirobata/ NEW ADDITIONAL DANCE INSTRUCTOR!! Lourdes Tamayo of Havana will be joining our dance faculty. Lourdes danced for 25 years with Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de Cuba, is renowned for her Yambu interpretation and a well-known teacher of International workshops in and out of Cuba. She has vast knowledge of all of Cuba’s folkloric dances, and is a stylistic master of Cuban Popular dance. Remember that there is drumming and dancing, but we also have some great Cuban musicians with us prepared to teach saxophone, violin, and drum set. Please rally your interested friends to register now...and see you in Banff for five days of intense African, Afro Cuban and Salsa! |
