JOIN US for a pilot Katsugi Okedo course May 6 and 13.
Katsugi Okedo is a unique style of taiko playing in which the taiko is slung over the shoulder and carried as it is being played. This enables the players to have greater mobility and a wide range of choreography for a playful experience. Register at: “store” (see above).
