ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I'm April Rose!
Learning to play and dance with the frame drum completely reinvented and reinvigorated my relationship to bellydance.
The deep low vibration of the frame drum healed my burned out nervous system. Remembering the ancient frame drummers as I played made me feel connected to their power. Feeling the elements in each of the tones wrapped me in Mother Earth’s embrace.
I’ve found many other bellydancers who feel the call of the drum, too, and we’ve created a like-hearted community of dancer percussionists. It feels sacred.
If you are a bellydancer who feels the call of the frame drum, (or a frame drummer who feels the desire to dance) you are going to love this workshop bundle!
The Frame Drum for Bellydance workshop bundle includes the exact exercises I use to keep my own frame drum and bellydance skills sharp!
-April Rose
Maybe you’re thinking, “But….
I don’t have a frame drum
You can have a frame drum overnighted from Amazon which will work great and sound beautiful. Even if you decide to invest in a nicer frame drum in the future (like the Cohesion Drum made by Cooperman) you will still use your first frame drum to play, loan out, or travel with!
I’ve never played frame drum
That’s perfectly fine! You’ll learn all the basics like how to hold and play the drum.
I’ve never bellydanced before
No problem! I’m going to break everything down from scratch and you’ll have a blast learning how to do hip shimmies.
OR you’re thinking, "Hmmm….
I’m already an advanced drummer
Wonderful! You’ll enjoy my approach to the frame drum as you learn to expand your repertoire to include bellydance movement!
I’m already an advanced dancer
Excellent! That means you’ll be in a great position to learn how to add frame drum playing to your movement! And you’ll enjoy revisiting hip tilts and hip shimmies the Dance Cohesion way!
I play a different kind of drum, like a dumbek or riq
Love that! You already know the language of the drum (dum, tek…), perhaps some rhythms, and even how to read notation. Now you’ll learn how to play that language on the frame drum with proper technique!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've got A's for your Q's
How long does it take to complete the workshop content?
The cumulative length of the workshops is just under 2.5 hours - so it won't take long to become proficient at playing your drum while dancing!
What size drum do I need?
While any size frame drum between 8” & 16” will be fine, I recommend a 14” drum. An affordable and decent quality frame drum is the Remo Fiberskyn Frame Drum available in the Cohesion Shop. If you want a high quality handmade drum, I recommend the official Cohesion Drum made by Cooperman
