TFBD Jan/Feb: Class 2 - Masmoodi

Hello Dancers!


We covered the Masmoodi rhythm today. There are two of them:

Masmoodi Kabir (the big masmoodi) has 8 counts to the bar.
D - D - r - T - D - r - T - r
This is often referred to as just "Masmoodi". It's typically used in slower tempo music and is a bit "moody" in feel.


Masmoodi Saghir (the small masmoodi) has 4 counts to the bar.
DD - rT - Dr - Tr
This is sometimes referred to as the "Baladi" rhythm. It's typically used with faster tempo; a bit more bouncy with still with attitude.

"Masmoodi" can be spelled a few different ways like "masmoudi".
