Grow and learn through many types of dance
By encountering different types of dance and music, your child will be able to gain different experiences and build confidence, as well as grow to enjoy challenging new things. We do not teach just one type of dance, but rather we create the opportunity to experience various genres of dance, and also to learn in an enjoyable way. In addition, these lessons will open doors to new beginnings for your child and will become a chance to expand your child’s potential.

About miXx Kids Dance classes
※ These grades are based on the Japanese school system. For those with children in international schools, Vibers is for those in elementary grades 1~3, and Groovers is for children in elementary grades 4~5 and middle school grade 6. Please keep in mind that those with children taking miXx's lessons directly at an international school have slightly different age grouping, in which case please refer to age groups set at your school.
Swayers
Age Range: 2.5yrs~3.5yrs
Children in the Swayers age group are still in the middle of learning how to jump properly and body coordination. They are also in the period of parallel play, where you can observe your child doing similar play to those around them without actual two-way engagement. Lastly, children of the Swayers age begin to enjoy doing pretend play.
In our Swayers class, we offer activities that are a combination of dance and pretend play, as well as activities that give your child confidence in their ability to use their body all while learning about other countries in the world using English.
Shakers
Age Range: 3yrs~4.5yrs
Children in the Shakers age group begin to mostly master usage of their bodies. Compared to children in the Swayers age group, their balance improves even more, hand-eye coordination begins to develop, and they begin to enjoy playing together with others. This is also a period of rapid language learning, as they become more able to communicate in their native language.
In our Shakers class, your child will learn various words and short phrases in English related to each activity as they mainly focus on cooperation with their peers in class, all while enjoying learning real dances from throughout the world. In addition, our activities also help improve coordination, sociability, and language abilities.
Party Makers
Age Range: 4yrs~6yrs
Children in the Party Makers age group learn how to do more complicated movements. Their "Why?" phase of curiosity is also at its peak, and they begin to want to understand the world around them. In addition, they begin to want to separate from their parents and challenge many things on their own.
In our Party Makers class, in order to increase your child's imagination, individuality, independence, and sense of choice, our teachers use not just their own ideas, but also your child's ideas in the lesson. In addition, your child will learn to speak in short sentences in English while learning about different cultures of the world. Lastly, in order to increase memorization, we also focus on choreography as your child learns how to dance forms of dance.
Vibers
Age Range: ※Elementary Grades 1~3
Children in the Vibers age group’s arms and legs, which are bigger muscles, develop quicker than their fingers which are used for more fine movement. Therefore, their movement is clumsier in their younger years. On the contrary, their sense of rhythm improves, and they become able to dance without stumbling. Their cognitive and language abilities also increase, so they look for reason within all things, and begin to want to know about everything in more detail.
In our Vibers class, in order to more easily learn choreography, we practice the basic steps of the choreography through fun dance activities. At the end of class, we then use those steps in our choreography. We also do rhythm training to improve musicality. In addition, we teach our Vibers, who are at peak curiosity, how to ask questions in English, and we practice asking questions in English.
※ These grades are based on the Japanese school system. For those with children in international schools, Vibers is for those in elementary grades 1~3, and Groovers is for children in elementary grades 4~5 and middle school grade 6. Please keep in mind that those with children taking miXx's lessons directly at an international school have slightly different age grouping, in which case please refer to age groups set at your school.
Groovers
Age Range: ※Elementary Grades 4~6
Children in the Vibers age group's body growth progresses rapidly, so they become able to master fine movements that require more complex coordination. Their endurance also increases. Lastly, they begin to care about how others around them see them, so this is an important period to nurture their confidence.
In our Vibers class, we move away from dance activities and begin focusing on longer dances that connect various movements (choreography). In addition, after the teacher's explanation about the lesson theme, the teacher will ask your child many questions and have them answer. This is a popular American educational style where your child will become more comfortable with naturally stating their opinion. Lastly, in order to increase confidence, we will have your child dance the choreography they learned in the lesson in front of their peers, focus on self-created choreography, etc.
