This pack will provide you will all the information you need to know about Jigsaw Dance

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Jigsaw Dance offers an exciting and unique approach in teaching the art of dance and performing arts. We strive to provide enjoyable, fun classes that are run in a competitive-free environment. We take our roles very seriously as teachers and mentors in each of our student’s lives.

Our main focus for our dancers is for them to feel good about themselves and their achievements. Our programs are designed to develop the “whole” child, not only by teaching them to dance but by building on their self-confidence with a positive mind and body image. Although classes are structured, they are conducted in a fun and relaxed atmosphere which allows children at all levels to enjoy dance and performing arts.

There are additional costs associated with the concert; they include a costume (which is paid by term instalments per term), stockings, correct dance shoes and other options by choice.

DANCE EDUCATION COSTS, UNIFORM & PAYMENT DETAILS

It is preferred that all students wear the studio uniform. The students tend to feel more comfortable when they look the same as their class mates. We feel it gives a sense of belonging and team atmosphere. All pieces of uniform and dance shoes are available

through the studio and the cost of the uniform is kept to a minimum so is affordable for everyone.

Appearance must be clean, neat and tidy. All long hair must be tied back neatly

It is important that the correct shoes are purchased for each style. Dance shoes are to be worn during classes.

For your first couple of weeks, any singlet/top and shorts/tights are fine to get started if you are not sure about your child’s confidence to participate in the class. Sneakers are fine to wear until you are sure that your child will be continuing the class.

All students need to wear correct dance shoes and studio uniform in the mid-year showcase so it is a good idea to get them from the start of the year

GENERAL INFORMATION

MEDAL TESTING

We offer Medal Testing for tap and ballet. This is not compulsory, it just offers our dedicated students something to strive towards and be acknowledged for their achievements. During term 3, students will present their work to an industry professional and if satisfactory in their grade, will receive a medal and certificate of achievement. If you are unsure whether or not your dancer will be ready to sit the Medal Test, you can discuss with it with me and we can make the decision together.

PERFORMANCE TEAMS

We have re-structured the running of our Performance Teams after a great and positive finish to the year. Events we participated in include fetes, events & local comps. I have the tentative dates booked in for 2016 (see the Calendar) There is a strict number of participants in each class and will require weekly commitment. These classes are on a Thursday afternoon. For those wanting to know more, please send us an email at dance@jigsawdnace.com.au

PRIVATE LESSONS:

For anyone who wishes to take on private lesson in 2016, please note that you will be unable to perform in our concerts (as they are just simply too big!). Private lessons dances can choose other performance opportunities if they wish. More information can be obtained by emailing dance@jigsawdance.com.au

CLASS ATTENDANCE

If you miss three classes in a row without contacting us, we will assume you have discontinued. If you need to miss three classes due to things like a holiday or ill health, please let us know and we will be happy to hold your place in the class. You can email, call or SMS 0412 687 890 if your child is unable to attend their class.

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

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.

CLASSES FOR 2016

Classes in 2015 thrived and as such I have created several new classes into the timetable in order to allow more space for new enrolments and to keep class sizes capped. Students are not placed in classes based primarily on their age, but experience, ability and friends are important factors that can determine what class is best suited for them. The class descriptions are listed below.

“All classes have been specifically programmed to allow our dancers to continually improve on technique, co-ordination and choreography while always ensuring creativity and fun! All teachers have been trained with this syllabus to ensure all our dancers are developing and learning at a consistent pace.”

CLASS STRUCTURE 2016

Jigsaw Juniors 0 to 5 years of age

Rising Stars 5 to 7 years of age

Shooting Stars 7 to 9 years of age

Academy Junior 9 to 12 years of age

Academy Senior 13 to 18 years of age

JIGSAW JUNIORS – DANCE ADVENTURE

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.

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 while singing and dancing together.

JIGSAW JNR JAZZ – Our jazz 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!

JIGSAW JNR HIP HOP/JFH (Jazz/Funk/Hip Hop) - Our Hip Hop and JFH classes use funky music and hip moves giving our

dancers an introduction to modern moves and techniques.

JIGSAW JNR TUMBLING TOTS/MINI ACRO – Our Tumbling Tots/Mini Acro program is great for upper body strength,

balance, flexibility, exploration and co-ordination including bunny hops, barrel rolls & somersaults while using the soft play, balance beam and mini tramp….

MID YEAR SHOWCASE & END OF YEAR CONCERT All of our Jigsaw Juniors (apart from our Rainbow Connection & Mini Acro classes) are invited to participate in our Mid-Year Showcase and End of Year Concert. This is SO much more than just ‘doing a dance on the stage’. These opportunities are a positive and growing experience for your dancer (and you). 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 friend 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.

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 is usually held the week before the June/July School Holiday and our end of year concert is usually the 2nd

Sunday in November, so the dancing year finishes before the massive rush and commitments of Christmas start.

Are class sizes capped? Yes. The number depends on the age and style of the class. If classes are full, then you will be placed on a

waiting list and contacted as soon as a position becomes available.

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 either be purchased online through our website www.jigsawdance.com.au or we have stock at the studio so you have an opportunity to be fitted on your trial day.

GROUP SINGING/MUSICAL THEATRE & DRAMA CLASSES While teaching correct vocal technique and different performance styles, our singing coach will give students the opportunity to sing a wide variety of songs allowing them to lose themselves in their favourite songs. This is combined with our drama program as we feel, the two complement each other. Our drama program covers many aspects of drama including character development and staging plays and musicals. Other activities included in our programs are: speech and language development, improvisation and creative movement, theatre games and a lot of laughs. We then combine the two and will showcase it in our concerts.

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 a viewing window where parent can watch the classes from the waiting area.

For all other classes, parents are not permitted to enter or be present in the studio once class has commenced. It is distracting and unsettling for all the dancers. We will give the parents a chance to have a sneak peak for the last 10mins of class during the final week of the term 1 and 3.

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 is usually held the week before the June/July School Holiday and our end of year concert is usually the 2

nd Sunday 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.

Does Jigsaw Dance break for School & Public Holidays?

Yes - we dance within the NSW Schools Terms, therefore following NSW School holidays and Public Holidays (except our starting week of the year and our finishing week of the year).

Also, our first week back of term will always starts on a Monday (unless it’s a Public Holiday) even if your child’s school has a pupil free day.

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 in the studio or at HQ (Castle Hill) or we have stock at the studio so you have an opportunity to be fitted on your trial day.
