Teaching Finger Cymbal History – Free Workshop For Subscribers

January – Topic & Talk

This month my “Topic and Talk” is all about the ancient history of finger cymbals.  Over on my Facebook page, I’m sharing lots of images of bronze-era finger cymbals from the collections of museums around the globe.  My goal is to help my fellow instructors, self-directed students, and belly dance history buffs build an easily sharable body of knowledge.

Celebrating our New Name
“Studio Davina – Belly Dance News”

This year we’re overhauling our newsletter.  “Costumers Notes” has been a title I’ve used for, quite literally decades.  But over the past five years, the content here on my website has become much more diverse.  In amongst the DIY costuming content I’ve been including tons of information about the history and general dance information.  So we’re changing the name to “Studio Davina – News for belly dancers.”   

Thank you so much for joining me on my costuming and research adventures!
