**Tap, Rhythm & Percussion
by Vicky Robbins & Steve Campbell

Sat. November 3,  2-3:30pm (For ages 12 & up, Fee:  $10)

The participants will learn some basic tap steps and rhythmic patterns with percussion instruments.  We will explore creative fusion of these core elements through improvisations.  For percussion explorations, we will also have non traditional “noisemaker” or found object “instruments”.  Bring any percussive objects that could be used in this experimental and creative improvisational workshop.  Bring tap shoes or any sturdy hard shoes for tap segment of the workshop.  No previous tap or drumming experience is necessary for this workshop.
