“Dance is so much more than steps and routines, it’s a chance for children to grow in confidence, express themselves, and have fun. It helps build strength, coordination, and focus, while encouraging creativity. Most importantly, it gives every child a space to shine and feel proud of what they can achieve.” - Jigsaw Dance Teacher
BOOK YOUR PLACEDance is a wonderful way for children to stay active, improve coordination, and develop confidence, all while having fun! At Jigsaw, our dance classes are designed to inspire creativity and self-expression through a variety of styles and techniques. Each session is filled with the chance to move and groove to their favourite tunes, helping children grow in rhythm, balance, and develop spacial and body awareness.
Dance is an exciting and integral part of every Jigsaw student’s journey. For children aged 7–18, dance is taught for one hour as part of their three-hour session, while our youngest students aged 3–6 enjoy 30 minutes of dance within their 90-minute class.
Our classes explore a wide range of skills, including mobility, flexibility, strength, rhythm, musicality, spatial awareness, control, and precision. We believe in teaching technique in a way that’s age-appropriate and engaging:
For little ones (3–6 years), we use imagery, storytelling, and imaginative play to help them explore movement and understand how their bodies can use the space creatively.
As children grow, we introduce technical dance vocabulary and more structured exercises to broaden their understanding and develop strong foundations for dance training, all while keeping the sessions energetic and fun!
Whether your child is dancing like a superhero, skipping to their favourite tunes, or learning key steps with precision, every class is about building confidence and sparking a lifelong love of dance.
For our 7–18-year-old students, each class begins with an energetic aerobic warm-up to get the heart pumping and prepare the body for movement, followed by a full-body stretch to improve flexibility. Next, students move to the centre for floor work and the introduction of new techniques. They’ll also have the chance to work individually or in pairs, practising steps from the corner to build precision and confidence.
Every class ends on a high note with a fun routine! We often work on these routines over several weeks so students can develop their skills, grow in confidence, and experience that fantastic sense of achievement when everything comes together.
Our dance teachers introduce a variety of styles, from musical theatre to street dance and everything in between!
For our 3–6-year-olds, the structure is similar but tailored to their age and ability. We use playful imagery to teach techniques and steps in a way that feels fun and imaginative. Repetition is key at this stage, helping little ones build confidence with every class. Expect plenty of Disney favourites and pop songs to keep those smiles and feet moving!
