Grooving in A Plus


Somehow, people are connected by bonds, both simple and complex. For example, belonging in the same family, we are connected by blood. In some cases, friendship ties us together. Here in A Plus English Academy, one activity is enjoyed by many- dancing.

A Korean student once revealed to me, Dancing is universal, and I couldnt agree more. Whenever we celebrate a welcome or a goodbye to a student, the after party would always involve turning the disco music up and just grooving to the beat. Dont imagine organized or formal dancing- we dance following our soul. That means you could do any step, any wave, anything! That is where the fun comes in, when you get lost in the music and have fun with your students, your teachers, and your friends.

We, part of the A Plus family, are bonded by a common love-the love for dancing. In the coming events here in A Plus, expect more fun, great music, and more dancing!
