Dance Project video from the 9th NCEA Japanese Workshop

16 schools from around Canterbury took place in creating a Japanese Dance video for 2022.

The Japanese Dance-off is a tradition started in 2014 when Dr Masayoshi Ogino of the Department of Global, Cultural and Language Studies put the dance-video challenge together as a symbol of collaboration between learners of Japanese, beyond schools and institutions.

In its first year the Japanese video project attracted around 250 secondary school students, and now the project includes over 400 students.
