It’s been amazing to see all the great taiko performances happening across the DC area once again … taiko + cherry blossoms is definitely good for the soul!
If you (or a friend, or a family member, or a random person you were chatting with at Starbucks) have been wanting to try taiko, now is the perfect time. We have TWO Introductory Taiko Workshops coming up later this month! Join us on either Saturday, April 23 OR Sunday, April 24 in Takoma Park and learn what it’s like to play a drum with your whole body!
These workshops have been selling out fast … and we know we’ll have a lot of folks who want to get in on the fun. So don’t wait … Register today!
Have fun, get a good workout,
and meet some awesome people …
all while hitting big drums with big sticks!
