Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio

Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio Our passion is to provide a professional and family friendly service, with quality lessons that ensu Empower students to be themselves. To Dream.
(25)

To embrace their uniqueness. Our highest priority here at Maxi-Jazz Dance studio is to value each and every student. Preserve the magical moments for them, encourage them to use their imagination, their creativity, their spontaneity. Every time they set foot in our studio, they enter a magical world where anything is possible. We hold the space for that and we must preserve the magic for them with

our whole hearts. Our journey at Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio started with founder Maxine Johnson in 1987, originally known as Maxi-Jazz School Of Dance. Maxine created a studio culture full of love, support, amazing performance opportunities for all students, and a leader in the dance industry for over 20 years. In 2007, Maxine’s daughter, Ylanda Robinson took over as Principal, continuing to lead the studio to new heights and continuing the family culture and opportunities for the thousands of families that have passed through the doors over the past 30 years, and as what is now know as Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio. Maxi-Jazz was the original studio in the Newcastle area to develop and create wonderful events for our families including movie nights, pizza parties, discos and more! We're proud to bring our unique CAMP experiences to our students and families. This trend has now caught on over the past few years and allowed us to truly deliver a magical experience for our students with many years of pathing the way for others. We have learned, grown, and developed so much over the past 33 years and will continue to share our passion for the performing arts, lead the way in ‘doing things differently’ for dance studios, and empower students to become more than they ever imagined possible.

Have you thought about Tap?!

Our Mover and Mighty Tappers are stand alone classes that are based off the LGTDA (Les Griffith Tap Dancing Association) Syllabus which we teach throughout our studio. These classes are based on the student's ability to ensure it meets their skills and technical abilities and progression as well as challenging students with its intricate rhythms and combinations.

With the inclusion of DanceStep at MJDS, our young dancers have a framework where they can contribute to the community in a positive way.

Past students of the DanceStep program have experienced increased levels of confidence and have learnt patience, empathy, communication skills and how to take initiative in different situations.

As affiliate members of the DanceStep program it is wonderful for us to be able to provide this opportunity for our dancers to flourish not only as young people, but to also watch them grow into competent and confident assistant teachers and student leaders.

Infused throughout MJDS Maxi's Mini's curriculum is the DiscoverDance approach to early childhood dance education which is the perfect blend of discovery and development that leads to a lifelong appreciation for the ART of dance.
But what actually IS DiscoverDance?

The Discover Dance Early Childhood Program is a series of movement classes designed to introduce children to the creative and expressive world of dance. Each class offers children the opportunity to develop their natural movement ability in a multi-sensory environment. Music, movement, visuals, and props will enhance your dancer’s love of the art form and the unique conceptual approach to dance education will provide the opportunity for cognitive growth.

Say YES to a program that supports holistic growth!

We are so excited to be able to offer these opportunities to our students and believe it strengthens our dance family and gives students more confidence, experience, increased strength and skills and most importantly, teamwork!
