Hit yourself rhythmically - it’s a kind of dance (& exercise)

It seems that African Body Percussion is the thing — rhythmic stomping and hitting oneself as a form of exercise. Well, daughter-in-law Vicky is into this big time and she’s sent this message — yes, more shameless promotion for a member of my family.

As you may know, we have been working hard on a DVD called ‘Tribal Groove‘ for several months! We filmed last summer and now the DVD is finally complete!

As you can imagine, we would like to get as much publicity as possible and spread this as far and wide as we can. The DVD is excellent and not only teaches people how to do some fantastic body percussion moves, it’s also GREAT to use with children and youth of any age as it focuses on implementing communication skills, respect and virtues into everyday life.

We are selling the standard edition off our own site initially (www.africanbodypercussion.com) but will soon be also selling it on Amazon, Play.com and possibly in HMV and Virgin. We would be SO grateful if you could help us out by purchasing a copy - The standard edition is currently being sold at a reduced price at ?10.95 (until 31st August) and is really great value for money with hours of learning and exercise on it!

If you don’t want a copy yourself, then if you know anyone with kids, it makes a superb pressie! It’s also great for anyone who wants to learn an exciting new exercise so don’t feel they have to have children to buy a copy!

We would love it if you could email all your contacts and let them know about Tribal Groove, as that would really help us out in spreading the word.

Thanks very much and if you have any questions about the DVD, do email me! If you also have any ideas about promoting it, then of course, drop me a line.

Visit the website and pass the message on! By the way, Vicky’s email address is victoria[at]littleguru.co.uk

Very very interesting :)
I am sure visually this is very vibrant too, perhaps you can post or add a clip here, to advertise it?

..to answer your question Mr Leith on the music from teh band on my last blog entry, it is a Portuguese band called Madredeus, and I think this clip was taken from the movie Lisbon Story.

I’ll see what I Ccan do about advertising Tribal Groove.

And thanks for the information about Madredeus. They sound wonderful.

Hi there,
I’m a Drama teacher at a school in Eastbourne, and have been nagging my line manager for a teaching edition of Tribal Groove for some time. Now that he’s finally agreed to it, the website seems to be out of action, and the email domain no longer exists!
I’m desperate to get hold of a copy, but don’t know how!
Is the website just under development, and if so how do I get hold of a copy? It’s amazing, the kids would love it!!
