National Theatre invites Manager Megan On Screen!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

Lights, Camera, National Theatre! Manager Megan on Screen! We’ve got some amazing news to share…

Our brilliant Manager Megan and school owner of Jigsaw Barnet and Jigsaw Potters Bar was invited to film with none other than the National Theatre for their brand new promotional video… and we couldn’t be more proud!

Back in October, Megan and a group of students from her school, where she also teaches, were asked to be part of this exciting project. The aim? To showcase the power of theatre and the incredible impact it has on young people across the country.

Filming took place at the National Theatre itself, and it was a truly unforgettable experience for everyone involved. After months of anticipation, the finished promo was released in late February — and it’s absolutely brilliant. A moving, energetic celebration of creativity, connection, and the importance of the arts in education.

Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=aWC4P0k3xeA

We’re so proud of Megan for representing both her school and the wider theatre education community. Make sure you give it a watch — and keep an eye out for some familiar faces!

Tina: The Tina Turner Musical – Theatre Night Out!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, an amazing Theatre Night Out and A “Simply the Best” Experience!

Megan, Jigsaw Barnet & Potters Bar owner and manager enjoyed a well-deserved night out at the theatre. And what better show to see than the powerhouse production of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical!

From the moment the curtain went up, the energy in the theatre was electric. The show tells the incredible life story of music legend Tina Turner. From her humble beginnings to global superstardom, and it had us completely gripped from start to finish.

The performances were outstanding, with vocals that gave us goosebumps and choreography that lit up the stage. The lead actress channelled Tina’s spirit with such raw emotion and power, it felt like we were witnessing the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll herself.

For our Jigsaw team, seeing a show like this is not only a treat, it’s a huge source of inspiration. It reminds us of the impact of storytelling through music and movement, and why we do what we do each week with our students. If you haven’t seen Tina yet, we highly recommend it for our Jigsaw

Parents… It’s bold, emotional, and unforgettable. A true celebration of resilience, talent, and finding your voice.

Mean Girls in the West End – A Jigsaw Team Trip!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

Jigsaw Team Trip – Megan & Maddie went to see Mean Girls in the West End!

At Jigsaw Potters Bar, we love a good theatre trip — and last week, our fabulous Manager Megan and amazing Dance Teacher Maddie headed to the West End to see the brand-new production of Mean Girls… and they LOVED it!

From the fierce choreography to the catchy songs and high-energy performances, the show was packed with everything we love about musical theatre. Megan and Maddie were especially blown away by the talent on stage (and may have left the theatre singing “I’d Rather Be Me” all the way home!).

Not only was it a great night out, but it was also full of inspiration for our classes — with bold dance routines, big characters, and powerful messages about friendship and staying true to yourself, there’s lots we can’t wait to bring back to the classes.

If you get the chance to see Mean Girls, we recommend it to our older students— it’s SO fetch!

Let’s Put On A Show 2025!

Jigsaw Students to Shine in Sky Arts Production of ‘Let’s Put On A Show’!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news — students from Jigsaw Potters Bar and Jigsaw Barnet have been given an incredible opportunity to be part of a brand-new Sky Arts production!

Our talented performers have been working hard in rehearsals for ‘Let’s Put On A Show’! Developing their skills and preparing for what promises to be an unforgettable performance. It’s been an inspiring experience so far, and we couldn’t be prouder of the commitment, energy, and enthusiasm our students have brought to the process.

And the best part? They’ll be taking the stage at the iconic Actors’ Church in Covent Garden — a truly special venue steeped in theatrical history.

We are so proud to see our students in action, representing Jigsaw with passion, creativity, and confidence. This is a fantastic achievement and such a valuable experience for everyone involved. One that we’re sure they’ll remember for years to come.

Dancing is Great for Your Child’s Physical and Mental Health!

Posted on by Jigsaw Office

At Jigsaw Performing Arts Hendon, we believe in the power of dancing to shape not just a child’s skills but also their physical and mental well-being too. Dance is more than just a fun activity—it’s a holistic exercise that offers benefits that go far beyond the dance floor. Here’s why dancing is one of the best ways to support your child’s development.

 

Physical Health Benefits of Dancing

Dancing is a fantastic form of exercise that promotes overall fitness. It helps improve strength, flexibility, and coordination, which are key components of a child’s physical development. Whether they’re learning ballet, contemporary, or street dance, children are constantly moving, which boosts cardiovascular health and enhances muscle tone. Plus, dancing is a full-body workout, improving posture and balance while developing fine and gross motor skills.

 

Mental Health Benefits of Danceing

The benefits of dancing go beyond the body—it’s also a great way to support mental health. Dance encourages creativity and expression, allowing children to process and communicate their feelings in a positive, non-verbal way. Through choreography, children learn to set goals, stay disciplined, and develop a sense of accomplishment when they achieve them. This builds self-confidence and promotes a healthy sense of self-esteem.

Moreover, dance is an excellent stress reliever. The physical activity helps release endorphins, which are the body’s natural mood elevators. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, dance provides a fun and engaging way for children to de-stress and focus on the present moment.

 

Dancing at Jigsaw Hendon, The Jigsaw Experience

At Jigsaw Performing Arts Hendon, we offer a welcoming and supportive environment where your child can explore their love for dance. With experienced teachers and a class structure designed to nurture both physical and emotional growth, we provide a space where every child can thrive.

Dance isn’t just about learning steps—it’s about growing in confidence, health, and happiness. Join us and let your child experience the joy of dance!

 

Why not come join the fun?

Summer Camp
Every summer, we run our popular Jigsaw Summer Camp, offering a week of creative fun, performance, and friendship-building for 3-16 year olds. We come together to create, rehearse and perform an original show each week. This years Summer Camp runs from Monday 4th – Friday 8th August 2025.  Book your place here!
