DRUM SOLO IMPROVISATION
There is a special magic in a duet between dancer and drummer. Do you agree? 💫💫💫It has a very different energy and feel comparing to a drum solo performance to recorded music.
👉At the same time, the ‘drum solo improvisation’ is the most paralyzing idea for many dancers… 😳😳😳Why?
It feels the most unpredictable: how can I catch all Dums and Taks?..🤯
It feels the most vulnerable: if I miss any accent, it would be extremely obvious…🥺
It feels the most dangerous: what if the drummer decides to screw me up… 😖 (lol)
‼️Did you know that even a drum solo IMPROVISATION has a certain structure? Not to mention the ‘secret’ language between dancer and drummer that allows them to communicate during this spontaneous process.🤫🤫🤫
Would you like to learn more about it? 🤔💁♀️I bet your drum solo improvs will get better, and the idea itself will be less scary. Let me know in the comments below.🤗😘❤️

About Iana
Iana Komarnytska is a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer, and passionate content creator helping dancers navigate their dance lives.
She is a graduate from the professional dance program at York University (Canada), host of the Belly Dance Life podcast, creator of the Iana Dance Club, author of numerous articles, and winner of Star Bellydancer Canada 2014 among other international competitions.
Along with belly dance, Iana performs and teaches Persian Classical and Turkish Romani dancing. She is the first choreographer to start using Triple Isis wings, and since 2012 this is one of her style signatures.
I see it over and over again that dancers who barely had any experience want to crowd their improvisation with hundreds of movements that at the end of the day, don’t even fit the music.
