Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio

Maxi-Jazz Dance Studio Empower students to be themselves. To Dream. To embrace their uniqueness. Our highest priority here at Maxi-Jazz Dance studio is to value each and every student.

Our passion is to provide a professional and family-friendly service, with quality lessons that ensure every student feels supported, confident, and inspired to reach their full potential. 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.

This week our mini classes we are exploring the dance concept of SIZE ✨

Over the next few weeks, our dancers will be discovering how their bodies can move BIG and SMALL within their own special bubble of space (their kinesphere).

Why is learning about SIZE important?

• It helps dancers understand how far they can reach within their personal space
• It builds awareness of their “bubble” and how to move safely and confidently
• It develops full body extension and strengthens their core
• It encourages control as they curl in small and stretch out big
• It supports expressive movement and imagination

Through playful exploration, our Minis are learning how to stretch, grow, curl and control their movements — all while building strong foundations for future technique.

Try it at home with your dancer 🏡

LEAP like a BIG elephant down the hallway.
TIPPY TOE like a SMALL mouse around the kitchen table.

We love watching their confidence grow in every moment 💗💚
