African Dance Teacher wanted

anglaise — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:43:54 +0800

Hi there!
I'm looking for an African Dance Teacher, ideally for individual classes (or I'll come to your class if you have one).
I have 5 years previous experience of mostly West African dance styles from classes in the UK. So far, I haven't been able to find a class here in Beijing, and I REALLY MISS DANCING!

I have limited free access to studio space to rehearse in, which is located in Shunyi. Ideally I am looking for a teacher who can work with me at this studio for an hour a week in the evening when the studio is available. We can work with CD's or even better with a drum if you can play too!

If you'd like to work with me, please send me some details about yourself, including the rates you charge. I will reimburse travel costs as appropriate to the right person.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Professional Indie Rock Band Finding a Drummer Now

lunacy — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 04:05:45 +0800

You’d better have a mature idea about rhythm; we don't wanna see you walk in other's shadow.
Your wonderful drum skills won’t touch us; on the contrary we prefer the steady-going and consistent dynamics in the music.
You maybe practice for a lone time, but you should know you are not a drum machine, you are born for sensation.
You should past the copy period or never thought copy as ideal.
You should past the psychological age that proud to be a guest drummer for many bands or never thought of this.
You don’t need to be famous, or you already are, this is a statement from a common band, only talent can judge the fair of music.
If you are interested in this, we are willing to do something for Chinese indie music with you.

No age limit
Male are preferred
Location: Beijing
Genre: Indie, Post Rock, Electronic, Experimental Music
Time-limit for recruitment: 2008-2009
E-mail: musician.china@gmail.com
