THE METHOD
BEHIND THE MUSIC

 

Our lyrics are designed expressly to teach English, with melodies that are simple to sing and simple to teach. But with huge musical variety and radio-ready sound, they´re never boring.

 

Recorded by a team of musicians with multiple Grammy nominations, these songs are easy to sing but catchy enough to remember. Their strong rhythms and infectious melodies are designed so that students will learn English and have fun. Who says learning English can´t be fun?

Music Videos

Kids love our songs! We know because we´ve kid-tested them in over 3,000 live concerts! We create super-fun, high-energy songs that kids can´t stop singing.


And our music isn´t just for little kids-it´s for children up to age 12.

Dance Movements


Meaningful movements are a super-charged learning tool, and in our songs, every single line has an action related to its meaning. So every time kids sing a song, they also tell its “story” with their movements.


With Dancing English, it may look like kids are “just” having fun singing and dancing, but they´re actually enacting the meaning of the songs with their bodies, involved in a multi-faceted learning process. And with foreign-language learners, the use of such movements is effective not just for younger children, but all the way up to upper primary.

Dancing English is the only method that uses meaning-based actions 100% of the time. Our songs are written expressly with action in mind.

Lyric Sheets

 

Our lyrics are based on real language for real life. We use language that applies to childrens ́ day-to-day world. With our lyrics sheets, kids can read along with the songs, as well as practice spelling, reading and pronunciation independently of the videos.

Karaoke Versions


Now you´re the star! Every song video has a karaoke section. Besides being fun for students, it allows for easy evaluation of student ́s ability to reproduce a song ́s language.

Music + Movement = Motivation

 

A well-written melody is one of the most powerful memory aids there is. That´s why we work so hard to put our lyrics to music kids love. And because children learn by doing, we create a meaningful movement for every line, so the lyrics will linger in children´s heads for a long, long time. With foreign-language learners, the use of such movements is effective not just for younger children, but all the way up to 12 years old.

Our laboratory:  Thousands
of children's concerts

 

What better way to find out what music children like than performing for them? Our founder Daniel Griffin has played 3,000 educational children´s concerts, a fantastic real-world laboratory.


What he discovered was children want fun music they can move to, not easy-listening songs written for very young children.

So Daniel set about writing the songs that would eventually become Dancing English: fun, rocking songs with real-world lyrics that kids enjoy….and teachers can actually use.

Because children want engaging music, but teachers want lyrics that are specifically designed to teach English language skills.
