Sea Dance

The Nippon Foundation “Umi to Nihon Project” Umi Dance

How about incorporating the “Umi Dance,” created for The Nippon Foundation’s Sea and Japan Project, into your childcare activities? Its easy-to-understand lyrics and dance help children learn what is good and what is not for the ocean environment.

Whether you live in a coastal area or far from the sea, a clean ocean is an essential part of our lives.

We hope it will spark children’s interest in how to protect the ocean.

Let’s have fun dancing the “Umi Dance” together with the kids.
