Description

Welcome, in this course you will learn how to play specific rhythms with body percussion for the upper (chest) and middle (thighs) region of your body.

Body percussion, or body music, is the cultural practice and artistic discipline where music is played through the entire body. Different percussion techniques are used on the body (claps, feet, snaps, etc.), coordinated movements, vocal sounds, body expression and nonverbal communication (body language).

Rock and roll, rock blues, rock twist, rock funk and Brazilian samba!!!

In each rhythm I will give you variations that you can use to express yourself musically. And there is even more, we will also learn combos with very fun techniques that you can implement in your musical speech.

Fill yourself with the magic of music and movement!!! Music, dance and physical exercise together in a context of joy, movement, and health

This course is designed to take you step by step, for the person who wants to start from beginner level. Gradually you will learn different techniques and rhythms for body percussion that you will incorporate into your practices; in this way you can create sequences and compose your own ideas.

I can assure you that body percussion will change your life and fill you with energy. This course is to share with you this invaluable treasure =)

The exercises that we will carry out are not of high impact, but if you have any doubts, always remember to consult your trusted doctor.
