I am so thrilled; I have just choreographed my first drum solo! I chose a very short one, only 1:16 minutes! It is a lot, however, trust me! Quick action the entire time. I chose Issam's Tablo Solo 1 from his Drum Solo CD. Here is the choreography, I'm sorry to be such a belly dance geek, but I am just so proud of myself!
1) 4 hip drop sets
2) 5 piston hips downward, jump down on 6th, spring up on 7 -8 with shoulder shimmies; quarter turn
3) 4 point locks; quarter turn
4) 5 piston hips downward, jump down on 6th, then spring up on 7-8 with shoulder shimmies; quarter turn to original position.
5) 2 shimmy slide sets with hip hit
6) Full on Egyptian shimmy for 4 beats, stop, reverse body undulation (6-7-8). Do this three times
7) 2 piston hips to 6, shoulder shimmies 7-8
8) shoulder shimmies leaning back, shoulder shimmies leaning front (I might do something different because this might be boring, maybe add just one 3/4 shimmy for accent. I just don't know yet!)
9) 2 sets of 4 flat hip 8's
10) 2 shimmy slide sets with hip hit
11) hip circle walk away w/ chest pop, three times
Pose at end of third.
