Brazilian Rhythms and Grooves
Lucy Moses School of Music | New York, NY
Come discover and experience in your body some of the most popular rhythms of Brazil — how to feel, notate, and play them. Besides immersing yourself in this beautiful music and adding a few new songs to your playlist, you can expect lots of typical Dalcroze Eurhythmics exercises that will challenge your sense of coordination, balance, and proprioception in a variety of ways, as well as spark your creativity.
