Dance Education That Inspires

The Seiha Dance Academy follows the innovative Papaya Method created by the renowned choreographer Papaya Suzuki. This method uses playful mats for an enjoyable learning experience, fostering creativity and body expression in young dancers. Through a curriculum incorporating hip-hop, jazz, and rock, children will not only learn dance but also develop foundational skills in a fun atmosphere.

The Papaya Method simplifies dance learning by using mats with numbers — known as Kazufumi-kun mats — that guide children through each movement step by step. This design encourages natural weight shifting in the lower body, which is a vital aspect of dance. It effectively serves as a learning path for aspiring dancers of all levels.
