Our skills class WILL RETURN!

Returning Spring 2024!
A big thank you to all of the awesome students from our most recent Skills Class!
We’re taking a short hiatus with this class for Winter 2024 so we can run not one, but TWO Styles Classes! We’re looking forward to seeing y’all in one of those … or in our always-fabulous Rec Class!
About this class
This 8-week class focuses on helping you develop your taiko mojo! Want to broaden the range of what you can express through taiko? Ready to expand your taiko abilities? Then this is the class for you!

Please note that this is NOT a beginners’ class. The pacing will be faster and the expectations higher than in Rec Class. Whether you are relatively new to shime playing or you’ve already got some experience, we guarantee you’ll find this class both fun and challenging!
Prerequisite: Instructor’s permission needed – please ask Mark H if this class is a good fit for you BEFORE registering for this class series! At least 2 Rec Class series (or 1 year of taiko experience) are a good starting point for this series, and you’ll also need a solid sense of timing and body awareness.

When:
Sundays: 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Stay tuned for future dates!

Where:
Dance Exchange
7117 Maple Ave, Takoma Park, MD

Cost:
$250 for class series (8 sessions)
Registration will open in Spring 2024!

This class is popular and often fills up – watch this space and reserve your spot as soon as registration opens!
This class is for ages 16 & up. Please see our registration and cancellation policies.
