Each week our classes are a journey of imagination, creation and education. Along the way, our dancers develop new skills, confidence and friendships through the passionate guidance of our teachers. We encourage creative thinking and exploration while our dancers get to feel a sense of pride, excitement & fun and most importantly feel like the most important dancer in the room. During our classes we jump, hop, stamp, point, roll, fly, sing, laugh out loud and grow into plants reaching towards the sun. We use hula hoop, bean bags on our heads, fairy wands, scarves, balls and much, much more. Our Jigsaw Jnr Dance Program incorporates all these elements combining dance, drama, games, props but most of all, lots of fun and laughter. This program has been specifically developed to enhance strength, flexibility, co-ordination & dance technique. When we dance & sing it stimulates our whole brain, as does using props, creative drama games and moving to music. It lifts mood and brings joy releasing endorphins. Our teachers who teach this program, have been hand selected and trained not only in the curriculum but how to engage and involve every single dancer in the room. This is very important as the expectation of our weekly meeting with our dancers is to be an amazing and positive experience EVERY time. Don t worry if you think your little one is shy or may not join in, we have had many years of working and encouraging little ones and ensuring they feel comfortable to the point that they will stand at the door and wave goodbye to you. Class sizes are capped so if you register for a class that is full, you will go on a waiting list and I will contact you as soon as a position becomes available. Our Jigsaw Jnr classes are 30 minutes and 45 minutes (combo class) offered to little ones not yet at school. We are offering mornings Tuesday Thursday and Saturday mornings.
JIGSAW JNR RAINBOW CONNECTION (My Love and Me) This is a beautiful opportunity for you and your little one to start the music and movement appreciation process. Together you and your little one will play with musical instruments, use fun props, run obstacle courses on the soft play equipment while singing and dancing together. JIGSAW JNR NEXT GENERATION COMBO CLASS (45mins) This combo class has been created to allow dancers to experience different genres of dance in a 45min lesson. This will give them a taste of a variety of styles and see which ones they love and may wish to pursue in the future. This programming includes: o JAZZ, HIP HOP, MINI ACRO, TAP (without tap shoes) & BABY YOGA These classes are fun and energy filled including basic movement, co-ordination, singing and drama to familiar music. It gives children a chance to develop their ear for music and feet for dancing, starting at the age most crucial. JIGSAW JNR BALLET Our ballet classes have the same fun and energy of our Jazz classes, but also incorporates the beginnings of ballet techniques allowing a gentle introduction to the world of tippy toes and twirls. Dancers are taught correct technical skills and French ballet names for steps and movements so we have classes of 2-5yr olds speaking French each week!

MID YEAR SHOWCASE & END OF YEAR CONCERT All of our Jigsaw Juniors (apart from our Rainbow Connection Classes) are invited to participate in our Mid-Year Showcase and End of Year Concert.

Each lesson the teachers work in developing the whole child. It actually doesn t matter what they do, we just want them to have the greatest time & feel really excited, confident and proud of themselves. These displays also allow the children to show their family and friends what they have been working on during their lessons each week. Teachers talk and encourage our dancers from week 1 about how exciting and fun it is to dance on the stage, so we d like for you at home to use the same positive language with your dancers.

PHOTOGRAPHY & PROMOTIONS Through-out the year, your child may be photographed or filmed for promotional or advertising purposes. This may include but not limited to photos on our FACEBOOK page, local newspaper articles or published on the Jigsaw website. If you do not want your child s photograph to be used, please advise staff in writing when you enroll. IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES Once you have enrolled, all students and their families are expected to adhere to a few simple rules for the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved in the studio. 1. No food containing nuts or nut product can be brought into the studio by a parent, student or sibling. 2. Children must not enter the dance studio area unless accompanied by a teacher 3. Children must not leave the building unless accompanied by a parent or guardian 4. Before and after class, students are expected to be supervised by their parents. Teacher supervision extends only to students in class. CAR PARK SAFETY & PARKING We have children of all ages attending our studio. Please enter and exit our car parks with extreme caution. Please make yourself aware of our designated parking spots (and don t park in our neighbours designated spots.it doesn t make them happy at all!) At Jigsaw HQ, there is plenty of parking around the back of the studio. Please use it if our front spots are taken. JIGSAW JUNIOR - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can mum & dad watch the class? First time parents of the younger groups may watch the beginning of the first class to help settle dancers in. After this we find that the children respond much better without parents and siblings in the studio. However, after many years of experience, special tactics are used for those who have trouble separating from their parents, so don t worry if it takes your dancer a couple of weeks to feel comfortable and participate. At Jigsaw HQ, we have viewing windows where parent can watch the classes from the waiting area. In the final week of Term 1 and 3, we have parent participation week. This is where you can come and join in with your dancers as they teach you the moves they have learnt through-out the term. Is it compulsory to participate in the mid-year & end of year concert? Our concerts are not compulsory but highly recommended. It s a fun and entertaining experience for everyone involved and a great way for your dancer to show off all their hard work they have done throughout the year. Our concerts are designed to be pressure free and as relaxed as possible for everyone involved. Our mid-year concert will be held in Week 9 of Term 2 and our end of year concert is usually the 3 rd Saturday in November, so the dancing year finishes before the massive rush and commitments of Christmas start. Can I enroll after the dancing year has started? Yes - we accept new students throughout the year. Just email us at: dance@jigsawdance.com.au for an information sheet and timetable. Do I need to buy a dance uniform or shoes before I enroll? No - dancers trying classes for the first time are encouraged to come in comfy clothes and sneakers. Uniform can be purchased anytime at Jigsaw HQ Castle Hill or on our Registration and Discount day in January.
