**** NEW Lesson: Afro-Cuban Guanguanco
Here is a lesson we developed for a professional development we led with the YOURS Project. It breaks down some simple ways to incorporate rhythms from the Afro-Cuban Rumba tradition within a bucket ensemble. We think this lesson has some great potential so pleas feel free to borrow/steal any ideas you'd like. It's not perfect, we know, so PLEASE LEAVE SOME FEEDBACK!
1) Demo/Introduction
2) Warmup
3) Development Pt 1 (Cuba is the home of the rumba)
4) Bucket Basics/Applying Rhythm to Buckets
5) Rumba Dancing 101
Here are some clips of the lesson in action:
