Welcome to Term 3!

We have had the most exciting past 5 weeks welcoming students back into the studio. The energy and enthusiasm is simply beautiful and we can't wait to have everyone back next week.

Term 3 will run according to our Term 1 schedule with some minor changes.


You can see our Term 3 timetable here. It is also available on our website.

Classes will now finish 5 minutes early to allow time for cleaning between classes. This will apply to all classes except Ready Set Dance, Ready Set Ballet, Kindy Jazz and Kindy Ballet.

Please also note some studio changes on a Monday and Wednesday in order to adhere to our one per 4m2 social distancing.



Please ensure you are up to date with our new COVID Safe plan. It is essential that all parents, students and staff respect our policies, not only for the safety of everyone, but to avoid the school being fined for improper practice. We trust that parents will discuss the need for social distancing with their children.

A few important things to note 


Where possible, students must arrive dressed and ready for class. We encourage students to change in the car or to wear their leotard underneath their school uniform to allow for quick changing at the studio. Only 2 people are allowed in each change room at a time.

 Please bring minimal belongings with you; dance shoes and a drink bottle is all that’s needed. School bags can be placed on top of the studio shelves to avoid students having to enter the change rooms.

Hip Hop Students - if possible, please do not wear your outside shoes into the dance studio, please bring shoes to change into.

Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before class start time.

All students will need to sanitise hands before entering the main studio doors and wash their hands before class.

No parents or siblings are allowed into the studios except for one guardian per pre school student. All visitors who are not students or staff MUST sign our register. There will be a staff member at the front door to help students to their class.

Students must stand on a pink social distancing dot at all times when in the studio.

We appreciate your punctuality when collecting your child. Students can be collected at our new EXIT door directly to the left upon exiting the lifts. Please adhere to social distancing when waiting for your child and avoiding gathering at the door or in the hallways.

And most important……

Do not enter the studios with any flu like symptoms including sore throat, runny nose, cough, fever, headache. If your child has any of these symptoms, please keep them home and get them tested. We will happily offer a make up class for when they are healthy again.

We would also like to enforce that ANY students who have travelled or been in contact with anyone who has travelled to Victoria or a NSW Covid hotspot within the past two weeks, to self isolate for 14 days before returning to the studio.
Your care and concern will help to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

 
We will begin working towards our end of year concerts from the start of Term 3. While we are not yet sure exactly what our concerts will look like, we remain hopeful that we can still put something fabulous in place, so please keep holding the dates:                    

November 8th: K-12 rehearsals 
November 22nd: K-12 concerts
December 6th : Pre School concert
December 8th and 10th - The Little Mermaid - JF Theatre Co.

All Term 3 invoices will be sent out by the end of this week. We have not yet charged for any concert costumes due to the uncertainty around concerts. We appreciate your prompt payment of your fees, thank you.
 The Jazz Factory Uniform Shop is now ONLINE!

 

THE JAZZ FACTORY HAS A COMPULSORY UNIFORM for ALL CLASSES including WINTER ITEMS

Dressing the part for class makes a huge difference to the way that we dance and one of the reason that we enforce a uniform. In form fitting clothing, students hold themselves with better posture and placement. Similarly for baggy clothing in hip hop, which helps develop the relaxed style and getting down into the floor. 

With our fresh air fans running through winter, the studios can get cold. Please ensure that students who wish to wear Jumpers/Long Pants are in the correct JF uniform items.

We ask all students to please be in correct uniform within 2 weeks of starting at The Jazz Factory. This includes all winter items. Teachers will ask students to remove any clothing that is not part of our uniform. All female students must be wearing a leotard, even under their t-shirt where permitted.

You can now purchase your uniform items online for PICKUP (by students only) or DELIVERY
https://jazzfactory.com.au/uniforms/

Please note that Parents are no longer permitted in the studio.



We are looking forward to a fabulous, stress-free term! We are crossing fingers and toes that all will remain well in NSW in regards to COVID outbreaks, however in the event that we are unable to run face-to-face classes, all classes will immediately go online via zoom with the current schedule.
