Are you looking for a powerful and immersive way to express yourself? Experience the energy, rhythm, and spirit of Taiko drumming, a dynamic Japanese tradition that blends movement, musicality, and deep cultural heritage.
We are excited to announce an upcoming one-day Taiko Drumming Workshop at Ethnografiska Museet on May 3, 2025! This is a rare opportunity to experience the joy of group drumming, relieve stress, and connect with Japanese culture in a unique and dynamic way.
**Why Taiko?**
Taiko drumming is more than just music—it’s a full-body experience that builds strength, coordination, and mindfulness. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Taiko allows you to channel your emotions, cultivate presence, and connect with others through rhythm.
This workshop will be open to all skill levels, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience. If you've ever wanted to try Taiko, this is your chance!
🔥 Bonus: Participation in a Stockholm Taiko workshop is a requirement for those interested in joining Stockholm Taiko as a future member.
