The Northern & Southern Plains Indian Dance Group

Together they perform Native American drumming, tribal dancing, and singing to educate the public about their culture. This popular Native American dance group has performed throughout the Denver Metro and Front Range community at various conventions, outdoor events, grand openings, county fairs, schools, and college events.

Denver Taiko Japanese Drumming Troupe.
As a drumming juxtapose, Denver Taiko, is a percussive group which uses traditional Japanese drums and other instruments to combine both modern and ancient rhythms into a style and sound which is uniquely their own. Denver Taiko was one of the 2001 recipients of the Mayor’s Award of Excellence in the Arts. Comprised of third and fourth generation Japanese Americans, this group provides an outlet for cultural and personal expression that is both visually exciting and emotionally moving.
