Still Move’n, Still Groove’n with Djembe Alchemy
So what should you expect at Djembe Alchemy’s Still Move’n, Still Groove’n courses?
We start off with a gentle warm up to get us moving and the blood flowing. This is often some sort of body percussion, clapping rhythmic patterns, gentle movement or other non-drumming activity. Then we pickup the drums and start learning a traditional West African rhythm or revise what we have learnt in previous classes. Over successive weeks, you’ll get familiar with the rhythms, and be abl;e to tap them out on the drum when called.
Our Still Move’n, Still Groove’n program is a bit softer and easier going than our evening classes. It targets those that can’t or don’t want to play at the speed of the other classes and those looking for a bit more of a relaxed program, whilst still delivering the benefits to our minds and bodies and providing social connection and fun.
Djembe Alchemy drumming classes provide and open, accepting environment where ego’s, stresses and lifes’ problems are left at the door.
