Freedrum with Kaya Boom
Kaya Boom’s new course!
FREEDRUM is a week-long party of drum and dance - Global Grooves to move to!
Book in quick if you are keen; Kaya’s course sold out last year.
Are you ready to escape reality and dive into some meditative relaxing rhythms balanced by fun, high-vibe beats in this accessible, inclusive drum and dance journey for all levels? In this course, we’ll be keeping it simple and playful, building connections and trusting in this safe space of new, like-minded friends to go deep into your rhythm.
You have the opportunity to stay with the drums the whole time and drum for the dancers, or focus on dancing the whole time, or try both.
Drummers are invited to play on the Bass drums for classes and will learn different patterns, arrangements, breaks and beats through the week. Kaya will be bringing his amazing collection of drums and percussion from around the globe which you are welcome to explore.
Dancers will be enjoying Rhythm Yoga, an epic journey of flow and moving Asanas/ stretches to the drumming. The supercharged Dance to Live Drumming workshop will fill you with good energy to keep you in the groove.
Learning new fun moves and choreography, with global influences and a focus on expression and feel through the week. The Dance With Rhythm section after lunch aims to get the dancers in sync with the beats understanding and feeling the rhythmic composition.
The afternoon dance is what Kaya’s regular classes are famous for. The drums fill the dancers with energy and ecstasy as we get the vibe sky high!
You are invited to perform or not as you wish at the Party in the Park on Thursday night (This year we are going steampunk silver black pink and blue - start working on your costumes now)
All abilities catered for with understanding patience, kindness and love.
AGE: Suitable for ages 16 to adult
SKILL LEVEL: Everyone - Suitable for a range of experience and skill. Tutors understand that there will be varying skill levels and will adapt to the needs and interests of all students.
SCHEDULE: Full Days - Monday 13 to Friday 17 January 2025 - 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

YOUR COURSE TUTOR
Kaya Boom
Kaya Boom has been a dedicated student of Samba for the past twenty years. He gives gratitude to his inspirations and teachers, Carlos Fierra, who runs Melbourne Samba School, Ortiz Pinto from Bad Boys Batucada, and Walter Piccolruaz from Sydney Samba School.
There is a flourishing Samba scene in Australia, with Samba schools in all the major cities. He pays respect to all the drummers and teachers – especially Olodum and Timbalada from Brazil, who have shaped today’s Samba.
He has also learned so much from his lifelong passion for playing Capoeira. ‘Obrigado to all the mestre’s in my life’. Kaya has travelled and played with many Samba groups at Festivals and events all over the country.
His own Samba group ‘Samba Soul’ performs at many local and national events. Kaya has played Falls Festival, Woodford, Global Carnival, Womad, Peats Ridge, Sydney Festival and many more.
