Dance in English is Nagoya Players Junior’s latest offering for children interested in the world of performing arts. Dance is a great way for children to learn body control, coordination and timing. For this workshop we’ve also added English instruction and exercises so children can gain more exposure and get comfortable with the language in a fun environment.
There will be 3 specially designed workshops (1 per month) from January to March 2020. In each workshop children will learn dance combinations from famous musicals like Grease, Hairspray and Chorus Line.
Each workshop will feature exercises and games to help young learners with basic English vocabulary, counting and rhythm. This combination of dance and English drills is a great way for children to learn two skills at the same time!

English Education Initiative (EEI)
Nagoya Players’ English Education Initiative (EEI) has been developed to encourage a life-long love of language study in the residents of Aichi. From youth to adults we are creating materials and organizing events that will aid learners in their pursuit of mastering the English language. And have fun at the same time!
We firmly believe that early exposure to English is a key indicator for future success. Children who develop foreign language skills early in life routinely show improved performance at school and gain access to better career opportunities.
With each Nagoya Players’ show we also organize Kids, Beginner, Intermediate and Advance English programs to encourage everyone to further pursue their studies.
If you’d like an Nagoya Player’s EEI event hosted at your school, business or organization please email us at NagoyaPlayers@gmail.com
