Here at Newcastle Dance Academy, all students must enrol in a ballet class to be eligible to participate in our jazz classes.
DurationJazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials. People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and energetic.
Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer’s individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns.
Many famous dancers have helped shape what we know as jazz dance today. Considered the father of jazz dance technique, Jack Cole developed techniques that are used today in musicals, films, television commercials and videos.
His style emphasised isolations, rapid directional changes, angled placement and long knee slides. Winning eight Tony awards, Bob Fosse was a musical theatre choreographer and director, and a film director.
Characteristic of his dance style are inward knees, rounded shoulders and full-body isolations. Considered a founder of jazz dance, Gus Giordano was a master teacher and gifted choreographer. His dance style has influenced modern jazz dancing. Many jazz teachers employ his methods in their own classes.
Newcastle Dance Academy is owned by Tracy Caldwell and Roxanne McCourtie.
We purchased a small studio in 1996 with 10 weeks of the year to go, we rented church halls and continued to grow and move around locations until 1999 when we moved to the Hobart Road premises. The June 2007 floods, like many people, caused much devastation to the property.
We managed to battle on, but it was time for new premises. We purchased the Broadmeadow Glass and Aluminium building at the end of 2008 and in 2009 we opened the doors to the 5 studio purpose built complex that is now home to around 200 students.
We aim to provide the very best advice to the parents on quality dance education and the very best teaching available. Our staff are wonderful professionals in the industry and we create a warm and friendly environment for everyone.
Our staff are fully qualified with Royal Academy of Dance. We are consistently learning and studying under the CPD (continual professional development) program provided by the RAD.
Our motivation comes from the passion we share as educators and the environment we create for delivering the best possible learning environment for young children. Newcastle Dance Academy is a child safe organisation with all staff having their Working with Children check.

A Jazz Class starts with a warm-up, then technical work including kicks, leaps and turns are done from the corner, finishing the class with choreography.
This is a great class to get the children going! Being a non-examination level, this class uses a range of pop music that the children love. It is a fun energetic class, but at the same time is developing the students skill in timing & rhythm, co-ordination, elevation and flexability.
Jazz Dance Lessons are offered by Dance School of Distinction, Ballarat for all ages and skills. At DSD children develop new friendships, self confidence and build the strong foundation of technique in all styles of dance.
Our jazz is a combination of Theatre/Broadway Jazz as seen in movies such as Chicago where students focus on technique & rhythm, to modern Funk Jazz seen in music video clips and movies where students learn the latest moves to modern music
Jazz and hip hop are both popular styles of dance and at Miss Zoe’s we focus on learning jazz technique, hip hop style, and performance skills.
