Of course, it was a little daring to write this book, because 'You can not learn how to dance Zeibekiko, there are no steps and it comes all out of your soul'. Hmmm, so somebody without dancing experience, who has never seen or heard a Zeibekiko, will suddenly stand up and dance something from out of his/her soul that is recognizable as a Zeibekiko. If you're one of those who believe that, don't read this book.

Yes, Zeibekiko is a freestyle dance, but that doesn't mean that you can dance whatever you want. There are rules and Zeibekiko has a style and typical movements which you need to learn before you can dance Zeibekiko. Of course these movements have to be in time with the music. Therefore you need to understand the music, which can be difficult at first for people that are not used to music with an irregular time signature.

This book will help you getting familiar with the Zeibekiko music and dance. It contains many dance figures (including video links) that are specially created for this book. They are written in easy to read tables. With the information in this book, you should be able to create your own figures and to develop your own style. The Zeibekiko is a very personal dance. After enough practice, you don't have to think anymore about figures or what to dance next. Yes, then your dancing is the result of the music that you hear and what comes out of your soul and brain.

I wish you good luck learning this amazing dance!
