Hi students! My apologies for the gap in blog posts. Moving forward, we’ll be posting weekly again. This past week, we learned the song “Aruanda”, and learned the mechanics of the floreio “Au Sem Mão.”
In preparation for our participation in this weekend’s UCA batizado in Tuscon, we will be focusing this week on stamina in the roda, call-and-response, and etiquette.
Movement – We’ll be mostly playing in the roda this week to build stamina.
Music – Recognizing the berimbau rhythms and focus on call-and-respond (including responding even when you don’t know the lyrics!)
Language – Revisiting greetings, titles, and other formalities
REMINDER – this Saturday, there is no class (so no Dance) since most of us will be in Tucson. Those not going to Tucson should meet on Saturday to train. We’ll talk during the week to schedule.
See you in class!!
