Hi there everyone,
I've been studying Fat Chance format ATS for 1 and half years now, its my dance-iversary in February and I really feel like I want to add to my study now.
In class we learn the standard R-L-R for dancing, and the occasional military pattern for the couple of moves it's used with. We've also briefly touched on the baladi, although we never seem to dance with it in class....in fact we rarely use our zills at all in class, I mostly practice them at home.
But I've noticed when watching some troupes perform that the chorus play different rhythms, like for a solo or to accompany sword or floor work.
I love my zills and want to learn more with them, so basically my question is what rythms should I be learning? And can anyone recommend any DVDs, CD's, books or online tutorials that might be useful?
Thanks
