Discover how to Play Zills. This book helps raise the *barre* by
educating Middle Eastern Dancers (Belly Dancers) on the playing of
zills correctly.
More often then not I have found that dancers get to a place within
the intermediate stage of dance and they find that choreography is
a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. The movements of dance can
feel effortless and if you look at the completed picture of the
puzzle, what seems simple enough to put together, isn't. In many
ways hearing music and becoming inspired and impassioned with the
sound is like seeing the finished dance before it is created. This
can become a problem for some choreographers. Standing before the
mirror and thinking of what goes with what part of the music is an
entirely different story then the mind created finished piece. With
this in mind I decided to create this book for you and construct it
in a format that hopefully makes sense but also helps peel away the
outer layers of difficulty in understanding choreography. I will be
sharing with you many of my combinations and cosmically inspired
ideas that I consider real gems and I am confident that with the
way I chapter and organize everything that you will get the help
you need or at least feel free to take from my ideas.

1931. From the Foreword: Clog and character dancing has its place
in education as a wholesome means of expression. The clog dance is
as old, if not older, than the folk dance; its development has been
unrecorded, but reference to it is made in all complete historic
studies of dancing. Through pantomime, tapping, and lilting step,
the clog dance develops a response to music that is joyous and
satisfying. It appeals to all ages, and since relaxation and
perfected balance are the basis of its practice, physical
well-being is assured. The book includes musical scores of clogging
songs and photographs that are illustrative of the dance and time.
