During the time of slavery in the U.S., African slaves were not allowed to play any of the drums that were a part of their cultural communication. Without instruments, they turned their rhythmic knowledge in part to a body music called Hambone. Using traditional African-American Hambone as a start, this family-friendly, all-ages body percussion workshop will get people clapping, stomping, singing, and snapping with fun rhythms.

Syncopated and funky, Hambone rhythms lie at the foundation of American music, and are easy and fun to learn. Often accompanied by songs, Hambone teaches some basic rhythmic coordination in the context of a traditional body percussion style. This instructor is Evie Ladin who will be part of a performance at 7pm&9:30pm at Springstep!
