REMINDER
Next class is our last in this series.
Sign up for the next series March-April when we will be focusing on tribal fusion combos with finger cymbals! Don't own a pair? No worries, Lily will have some on hand for sale and to lend. Don't like finger cymbals? You should! Being able to play the finger cymbals well is an important part of being a belly dancer! I'm pretty sure your belly dance idols are great at playing finger cymbals. So, follow their lead!
