Why Taiko drumming and Cirque de Soleil-style performance?
The building at 3000 Commercial Drive was built for the Cedar Foundation, and it housed a program for at-risk youth that emphasized Taiko and circus. There are aspects of the building that are designed for these functions. Shortly after purchasing the building from the Cedar Foundation, the school was offered the circus and Taiko equipment and decided that circus and Taiko would form the base of the performing arts program for grades 6 to 10. Both art forms are taught by experts in the field, who worked previously for the Cedar Foundation.
