I'm having a blast doing it.

I'll never be great, or every very good, but I have fun.

I'll admit to being quite curious. I like dancing. I like music. I'm not getting enough of either. Hmmmm....

Come on down. Give the first class a try.
You can then sign up for the entire class if you like it.

I'd have to figure a way to commute there. Other than that, have a bang up time

Don, Kon, doko, Don!!!

Alas, Denver Taiko seems to be just a performing group and has no classes.

Yes, but we've seen them perform & they seem to be pretty good. They also did a ... would you call it a duet? ... with an Indian dance troupe that was all sound & color

Ah, good; now I have an idea when to send Chibi back to her classes...

Hey, Mr. O - do they still have my Shekere over there, possibly in the "closet room"? (The gourd with the red rattly plastic beads and my name in kana on the bottom: カリス.) I wants it back. :)

No clue. I'll look tomorrow.

The first Friday class will taught by Andrea and whoever is not going to Taiko Camp. Plus all the classes are still running on a drop in basis.


We may be late to very late to the party. We have a wedding reception to attend. Tara and Kelly of Chaos are getting married this Friday at SF City Hall
