Riqs, Daffs, and other Frame Drums

by Cassandra on 12/26/13

Well it's finally completed. The frame drum section is updated. There is a lot of new information in this section of the Music pages. There's a lot more information abbout frame drums and there's a wealth of new rythyms now with notation more specific to the frame drums like the Riq, Daf, and Tar as opposed to a copy of the common tabla rhythms that used to appear with this section. Happy holidays to those of you who have celebrations right now and happy reading, I hope you enjoy these new pages.

Ahalan Wa Sahalan! Welcome to Middle Eastern Dance. This site is an informational resource on Middle Eastern Dance. Although the main focus is on what is commonly called "Belly Dance" there is information on other dances of the Middle East, North Africa, Mediterranean, Balkans, and the Indian Sub-continent. My goal is to give people (dancers especially) easy access to understanding the dances and cultures from which they come. With somewhere around 400 pages and growing this site is full of information to keep you busy. Take some time to look around, you won't regret it. I've tried to organize information into logical hierarchies so please explore. Use the navigation menu at the top of the screen to check out the different pages. There are hundreds of pages of how-to's many of which now feature video and other visual or audio aids. Learn about history, music, styles and more. If your a dancer looking to advertise your services for hire check out the Dancer's Directory, just fill out this form for a listing. You can also advertise you classes if you are an instructor in our classes directory by filling out the following form. If you own a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean Restaurant or Deli and would like to list your Restaurant in our Restaurant section please fill out the following form. Visit the chat room and talk with fellow dancers. If you have a minute please take some time to vote in the polls. Be sure to check back regularly to see what's new!
