Welcome! We are WADAIKO, Rochester's only taiko group! We are a performing arts group that specializes in the art of Japanese drumming and dancing. Our mission is to share the art of taiko and raise interest in both Japanese culture and music.
No experience necessary! Any skill level is welcome. We’ll teach you everything you need to know.
We will have some equipment available for you to use. We recommend that members eventually make or buy their own pair of bachi (drum sticks) to practice with. Performers do need their own uniform though!
Every member who works hard to learn the beats and choreography will have a chance to perform.
If you require an interpreter, no problem! We’ll work with you to make sure an interpreter is present. If you’re Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing, you’ll still be able to feel the vibrations of the drums.
What are you waiting for? Join our group today!
