What is EDM x Tai Chi & Qigong?

A Kelo experience that pairs tai chi and qigong movement with a live electronic music set. A certified event lead guides the forms while the music sets the pace, with breathing practice and a short meditation woven in, so the session works body and mind together. Kelo's artists treat the music as part of the practice.

What is the difference between tai chi and qigong?

Qigong is a family of simple, repeatable movements paired with breathing, usually practised standing in place; a set such as the Eight Brocades takes about fifteen minutes. Tai chi is a flowing sequence of linked postures that moves across the floor and takes longer to learn. Many groups teach both, and beginners often start with qigong.

Can I keep moving after physical therapy ends?

Yes. Kelo's After PT line lists ongoing movement programs for people who have finished physical therapy and want a steady weekly practice. Tai chi and qigong classes in the directory are gentle, low-impact and open to all levels; each page says how the class runs and how to join.

What we see across the directory

From Kelo's directory of tai chi and qigong groups in the US, as of October 2026.

  • 790 groups across 200+ cities. Los Angeles has the most, with 116.
  • Weekday mornings lead: Tuesday to Thursday are the busiest days, and 9 am to noon is the most common start time.
  • About one class in six is free or donation-based.
  • A sixty-minute class is the norm.
  • About 15% of classes meet outdoors, and 6% run online.
  • Half of the groups teach tai chi only; a third teach both tai chi and qigong.
  • Joining usually starts with a form on the group's own website; walk-in classes come next, then memberships and city parks-and-recreation registration.
