Dear Friends, Family, and Community Members,
We hope that you and your loved ones are as well as you can be during this long lasting pandemic. We at Asano miss you all so much...
As you may already know, Los Angeles has started allowing non-essential businesses to reopen, and since gyms are included in this list, we too have decided to start opening our doors in steps.
June - Store opens for retail (details below)
June - Studio open for rental/personal practice
July 1 - Private lessons available (details below)
Check out our LATI x COVID-19 Website and learn taiko remotely!
We want everyone to still be able to play taiko at home, so our instructors have worked hard to build this website.
Learn how to make a tire drum so you have something to play on! Learn LATI repertoires taught by LATI instructors! Learn warm ups and stretches led by LATI instructors and students!
Enjoy your time and stay active even while you're at home!
Let us know your progress by updating the practice check- off sheet.
Stay safe, healthy, and active!
We're all in this together.
We hope everyone is in good health and staying well at this stressful time. As it continues to remain unclear when operations can be resumed, we are paying close attention to the situation in the state of California and the city of Torrance. Although the stay-at-home orders are set to expire on 4/19, we still do not know the exact details. Once we receive permission to resume operations and we determine when classes will resume, we will follow up and notify you about the resumption of classes.
