What is the Belly Dance Drum solo?
The belly dance drum solo, also known as the tabla solo, is a dance based on isolating your muscles and belly dance movements to the sounds of the Darbuka. The Darbuka is an Arabic drum. The Drummer essentially plays various drum rhthyms embellished with other drum sounds. These other drum sounds are sometimes called "ornamentation", which is basically how the drummer "fills in" around the skeleton of the rhythm.
Without a doubt, dancing the belly dance drum solo is a great skill. This is owing to the fact that the belly dancer's job is to express the drum beats, sounds and patterns with her isolations and body movements. Furthermore, the extra skill is down to the belly dancer showing accurate precision and timing. The idea is that you want to make it look as if the sound of the drum is coming from inside your body.
The Art Of The Belly Dance Drum Solo
You can choreograph to a drum solo piece or music, or for extra skill and expertise the dancer improvises and freestyles along the the drummer. Ultimately the drummer and the dancer feed off of each other. The drummer watches the dancer and the dancer freestyles along with the drummer. Hence the importance of being able to recognise your rhythms as a belly dancer! For example, if you recognise the rhythm being played you will pretty much be able to anticipate how the rhythm will go, thus making it a little easier to dance along!
This however is a very brief summary of the belly dance drum solo! There is so, so, so much more to it! I teach regular belly dance drum solo courses covering all of the skills required to be a great dancer of the art of the drum / tabla solo.
