Recent News from the school

I’m Takayo Shaura from Japan. Before I came to NY, I used to teach ballet and was a ballet dancer. I wanted to improve my dance skills more, so I decided to go to NY.
The reason is that in NY City, there are the most famous dance studios in the world. First , when I came to NY, I took dance programs for 2 years at a dance school. At that time, I took the mandatory 12 dance classes a week. One class was 1 & 1⁄2- 2 hours long. It was very hard for me but I was able to learn some wonderful dance styles and met an awesome dance teacher and dancers. If I had not been here, I think I wouldn’t have had these wonderful experiences.
Second, after I got my certificate of completion, I was able to join the musical shows, perform dancing, singing and had a great experience. However, I couldn’t speak English well with Americans while I was in the shows. In addition, I was depressed that I could not communicate with children who came to see the shows..
Then, I thought I should study English hard. Actually, I had some musical shows for children in the last year that were canceled by the pandemic. In fact, we can’t perform anything, and I’m not sure when I can start dancing in the shows again.
Since I needed to study English more for communication with Americans and children in the near future, I thought I want to learn English at NYEA.
Furthermore, I was surprised when I took an online class at this school for the first time because everybody was able to speak English fluently and it was wonderful. Hopefully, I think my English skills are going to improve here!!!
