What is the famous Belly Dance Drum Solo?The belly dance drum solo, AKA the tabla solo, is a belly dance based on isolating your muscles and belly dance movements to the sounds of the Darbuka drum.

The Drummer essentially plays various drum rhythms embellished with other drum sounds, and as a dancer our job is to dance to them. This however requires learning ultimate precision and accurate timing!undoubtedly, dancing the belly dance drum solo requires great skill.

This is due to the fact that the belly dancer's job is to express the drum beats, sounds and rhythms with her isolations and body movements.

The idea is that you want to make it appear as if the sounds of the drum are indeed coming from the inside of your body!

The Art Of The Belly Dance Drum or Tabla Solo

You can improvise or choreograph to a drum solo recording, or for extra skill and expertise a belly dancer improvises and freestyles along with the drummer as he plays. Essentially the dancer and the drummer feed off of one another. Hence the importance of being able to recognise your drum rhythms as a belly dancer!
This makes your life somewhat easier, for if you recognise the rhythm being played you will pretty much be able to anticipate how the rhythm will go. Subsequently making it a little easier to dance along with a certain degree of accuracy!
This indeed is a very brief summary of the belly dance drum solo! There is so much more to it than this!

I teach lot's of belly dance drum solo courses which cover all of the skills required to be a great dancer of the drum or tabla solo.
