Circus and Acro Classes

Little Cirque
(Non-Concert Class, just weekly fun!)

Little Cirque Circus Classes are super fun for preschoolers ages 2-6. Watch your little one gain confidence and learn new skills.

Each 45-minute class includes basic tumbling, interactive circuits, balance beams, silks, trapeze, juggling, hula hoops, and more, all under the supervision of our fully qualified teachers.

Our Little Cirque program also incorporates fun play elements to support their development. It is very interactive and has lots of elements to help get children ready for big school, such as identifying colours, answering to their name, following instructions, and so much more.

There is a set of skills and drills at each level. Once students have successfully completed the card they will learn a routine and perform their routine in class. They will then get a certificate and move up in levels.

Little Acro
(Non-Concert Class, just weekly fun!)

Little Acro classes are our mini version of our AcroDance classes based upon the Acrobatic Arts syllabus that’s known for its safe and effective progressions across five divisions: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering, and Tumbling.

AcroDance is a stunningly beautiful and highly athletic art form that combines elements of gymnastics, balancing, and tumbling,. Even for our younger students, Little Acro is loads of fun and super energetic. Students will learn age appropriate acrobatic skills such as handstands, cartwheels, roll variations, balances and more!

You don’t need any dance experience to join this class, you just need to be willing to try new things!

It doesn’t matter what level each student is at, or how quickly they are progressing as we encourage each student to work at their own levels within the class. We work in a circuit rotation allowing the students to work at their own pace with the teacher.

Our classes are not gender-specific and have something for every student and also allows them to interact with other students.

Cheer Tumble (Non-Concert Class, just weekly fun!)

Cheer Tumble follows IASF and ACSA Cheer level progressions and is specifically tailored for cheer routines and focuses on power-based skills with cheer-specific skill techniques.

Like AcroDance, Cheer Tumble focuses on safe progression and techniques, which are taught by our qualified and experienced teachers, and they both move through levelled programs that allow for individual progression!

Cheer Tumble is designed to be done on cheer mats and sprung floors and is categorised into 2 key components: standing and running tumble skills, which can consist of the following skills: walkovers, roundoffs, roll variations, handsprings, back tucks, layouts and more. 

Dance Cirque (Non-Concert Class, just weekly fun!)

Dance Cirque is for children over 7 years of age (Movers and Mightys), and is great for everyone – you don’t need to be a dancer to enjoy it. It works on level cards, so everyone progresses at their own pace.

It not only involves an apparatus (silks, lyra, trapeze) but also a ground act (juggling, poi, hand-balancing and hula hooping). Great for cognitive development, strength and flexibility, and mostly confidence.

You don’t need any dance experience, you just need to be willing to try new things! There is a set of skills and drills at each level. Once students have successfully completed the card, they will learn a routine and perform their routine in class. They will then receive a certificate and move up a level, still remaining in the same class. It doesn’t matter what level each student is at, or how quickly they are progressing, as we encourage each student to work at their own levels within the class. 

We work in a circuit rotation, allowing the students to work at their own pace with the teacher. Our classes are not gender-specific and have something for every student, and also allow them to interact with other students.

AcroDance (Non-Concert Class, just weekly fun!)

Acro Dance is a stunningly beautiful art form. It is also highly athletic, very difficult, and can be unsafe if not taught and executed safely. It is a genre of dance which seamlessly fuses elements of lyrical gymnastics tricks, balancing, tumbling, and jazz. Students learn Acrobatic tricks such as handstands, cartwheels, chest stands, elbow stands, walkovers, side and front aerials, and tumbling lines.

Our AcroDance program follows the Acrobatic Arts syllabus which is a strong, effective, and innovative curriculum. It provides ongoing education opportunities and support for our MJDS Qualified Acro teachers to ensure we’re providing students with the latest safe, efficient and progressive teaching methods.

Our students love their progression books where developmental skills and drills are marked off every few weeks to show their progression, and our families love seeing what skills they’ve marked off.

All of our students start in the Bronze class, and then move up through to Silver, then Gold, then Green. Within these classes are the different Acrobatic Art levels in which you will be invited by your teacher to the next class upon completion of your required skills and progression chart.

All of our Dance Cirque, Little Cirque, Little Acro and AcroDance teachers must undergo training before delivering the programs and maintain the training with on-going courses, training updates and support from Dance Cirque and Acrobatic Arts Head Offices. They also all must hold a valid Working with Children Check and CPR and First Aid Certificate.

Little Cirque will learn how to juggle using scarves and balls. They will learn basic tumbling skills such as forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, donkey kicks, log rolls, and more. Students will also learn a variety of skills on the aerial silks, and continue to learn more as our aerial trapeze is introduced over the year. The program also incorporates fun with play elements to help with their development. It is very interactive and has lots of elements to help get children ready for big school such as; identifying colours, answering to their name, following instruction and so much more.

We recommend starting from no younger than 2yrs old.

Although students are in the one Little Cirque class, there are 2 main age groups within this program, 2-3yrs, and 4-6yrs which students will follow their age specific level cards

In Little Acro, all students are again in the same class. Although they don’t have split age group level cards, they will be given age and level appropriate skills.

Each program is catered to that age group and where they are in their development. That is why we always ensure multiple teachers in each class which keeps students within their appropriate age groups and development requirements.

Both classes run for 45 minutes

Apart for having bubbly and friendly staff that just LOVE their littlest students, we ensure our classes have upbeat music, bright coloured props and a few other secret ingredients!

We also use equipment and stations to ensure they are constantly moving such as a balance beam, acro mats ( for their acro skills ), hula hoops, tunnel and juggling scarfs. Another way we both engage and educate our students is through the use of picture paddles. These pictures they use to identify animals for warm-up such as; run as fast as a cheetah or jump as high as a kangaroo. We also use them to help your little ones find their station such as; jump like a bunny to the tunnel.

We always ensure there is always a trainer at each station to ensure that they are doing the skill correctly and safely. This is also to ensure if a child does run to the equipment they can be stopped by that teacher at the station.

There is a set of skills and drills in each level after they successfully complete the card they will then get a certificate and move up in levels.

This is the same for Little Monkeys, Dance Cirque and AcroDance classes

No, it doesn’t matter as we encourage each student to work at their own levels within the class. We work in a circuit rotation allowing the students to work at their own pace through the progression cards and skills with the teacher.

At the end of each semester (term 2 and 4) we invite families into the studio to watch their lesson and see all of the incredible things that their student has learnt.

No it is not gender specific. Little monkeys has something for every child and allows them to interact with other students. It has many interactive elements which is suitable for all genders such as identifying different animals.

Throughout our experience over the past 34 years and with the support of our families, our classes at Maxi-Jazz are purely focused on learning for our students. To ensure that this learning environment is 100% right for them, our studio rooms and classes are exclusive to our students only.

Our families at Maxi-Jazz absolutely love the class progression notes they receive on the amazing parent portal and are thrilled to look at the videos and photos that they receive each year.

Here at Maxi-Jazz, we believe that we offer a quality dance education for all students and we’re proud to stand behind our curriculum and classes.

We understand that choosing the right dance studio for your family is important, and that’s why we’re offering all NEW students to Maxi-Jazz an Introductory Month with a Money-Back Guarantee! We are sure that you will love our teachers, classes and feel a part of our dance family straight away.

As new students and their families enter our MJDS dance family, they will be welcomed and supported by our nurturing team. Each student will settle in their classes and become familiar with their new environment, teachers, and class curriculum over these first few weeks, which is why we offer this introductory month, instead of just one lesson.

However, if after one month you feel the student did not receive any positive outcome and gain confidence within the classroom, we will happily refund you your monthly fee.

Please see our terms and conditions for more details.
