Give taiko a try this spring!

by //

There’s no doubt about it: spring is THE BEST TIME for taiko in the DC Area! The National Cherry Blossom Festival offers lots of opportunities to see taiko (and pssssst, if you wanna see a whole bunch of amazing taiko performances in one day, don’t miss our Sakura Taiko Fest!) … and it’s really hard to see taiko without wanting to give it a try!

taiko players really getting some air on their bachi!

If you saw Mark H’s impressive “School of Flying Bachi” at our Fall Recital and thought, “WOW THAT IS AWESOME AND I WANNA DO THAT TOO!!!” … well then, this workshop is for you! (and if you missed it, you can still check out the video!)

In this fun workshop, you’ll learn how to spin, throw and catch your bachi as a way to spice up your solo, performance or composition. Mark will teach both basic and advanced tricks, as well as exercises for how to practice them. He will also reveal the secrets to making simple tricks appear more impressive and the deeper universal philosophies behind these (seemingly) superfluous skills.

Prerequisite: At least one series of our Rec Class or equivalent taiko experience. Want to know if this workshop is a good fit for you? Just ask Mark H!

This workshop is for ages 16 & up. Please see our registration and cancellation policies.

Spots are limited! Don’t miss out!
