Classes for intermediate and above

Are you ready to push your training, technique, fitness, skills and stamina further?

Intermediate sessions require at least 1 year Taiko experience.
Training is a bit more formal than the other lessons, as well as more intense, but enjoying what we do is still at the core of the training.
Classes are currently going through a change around, now that we have a performing team
and the intermediate sessions will be available again soon.

Joining the intermediate lessons is by application only.
To apply for these sessions, please email me at tengutaiko@hotmail.com
