Is It Time to Rethink How We Use Mirrors in Dance?

You walk in the studio and the first thing you do is check out your outfit in the mirror. As you work on a new piece of choreography, you use your reflection to get a sense of how it looks. When the choreographer gives you a correction, you peek at yourself again to correct it.

Tabla

A set of this Indian drum instrument majorly consists of the following tabla parts: – two drums, the left drum and the right drum.

Dayaa and Bayaa in Tabla Set:

The drum that is played by the right hand is called the ‘dayaa’ (or the table) and the one played by the left hand is called the ‘dagga’ (or the ‘bayaa’).

In them, Tabla has smaller diameter than the Dagga. For that reason, Tabla produces a high pitch sound (treble component). Therefore, many tabla players keep two or more tabla with different diameters to produce different sound pitches.
