MEET OUR PRINCIPAL
Miss Jen loves everything to do with dance and music. Starting dancing at the age of 2½ she delighted in performing on stage. Working her way through her dancing examination and participating in eisteddfods, both individually and in troupes, it soon became obvious that her future would be in music and dance. She started taking piano lesson when she was 5 years old and also added singing lessons to her busy weekly schedule.
A parent approached Jen when she was 13 years old and asked her to teach her daughter to dance. She eagerly accepted and started lessons in her family garage. Her start from one student quickly grew and when she was 16 she knew that she wanted to share her passion and joy of dancing and music with other children.
After completing her HSC and leaving school Jen built on her growing number of students and started Jigsaw Dance. She decided from the beginning that she wanted her students to learn to dance in a non-competitive environment and 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 and allows children at all levels to enjoy dancing. The decision to start singing/drama classes is a natural progression to give children an even broader exposure to music and dance. After 25 years of teaching, Jen has found one of the most rewarding and humbling aspects of her career is when students she has taught in the past are now bringing their children to her to learn to dance, thereby continuing to share the love of dance.
