Raw Roman presents the core elements of Turkish Roman dance as a collaborative effort between the teacher, Reyhan Tuzsuz and her student, Delpha. By highlighting the importance of the social and musical traditions of this dance form, Raw Roman moves beyond dance instruction and aims to document modern Roman dance as seen in Istanbul today.

Belly Dance Drum Solos is for dancers AND drummers who wish to perform with each other. An improvised drum solo is often the apex of the belly dance set. This course brings together two masters in their crafts - Faisal Zedan and Mariyah, who share their perspectives, tools, and drills for creating memorable live drum solos. Coming soon online!

Hey internet! and I have been working on getting the dhavir productions DVDs online for your home learning adventures. Derbakki Fundamentals was the first project I produced and co-created with Faisal Zedan. It is considered the most thorough instruction on derbakki (darbouka, doumbek, Egyptian tabla, the drum by many names) TO DATE. Starting from the very beginning and working methodically into more and more complex playing. Led and demonstrated by master Syrian percussionist Faisal. This DVD has been called, "The Bible of derbakki". After many years of selling in DVD format, we are excited to release online and provide access to players all over the world. Stay tuned!

In my opinion - DVD or Video is the best teaching aid after having an actual live teacher. You can see and hear what is going on and you can stop and rewind whenever you need to focus on something particular. There are quite a few videos covering Arabic / Mid. East. / N. Africa / Turkish percussion…
