  Genki Taiko Workshop 2

  Back by popular demand from the children who attended our first session, we're excited to offer the second Genki Taiko Workshop!

  First-timers and returning children are all welcome!

  The workshop is specially designed for elementary school-aged children. In Series 2, children will explore traditional Japanese songs while developing physical coordination through rhythm and movement. It’s a joyful way to connect with Japanese culture and stay active!

  Instruction is in English, with some counting and energetic “kakegoe” (shouts) in Japanese.
  Come join us for fun rhythms and powerful beats!
