ST IVES SHOPPING VILLAGE
During the recent April NSW School Holidays The Jitterbugs performed two high energy shows over 3 days at St Ives Shopping Village. Their colourful characters and energetic young performers kept the crowds enthralled and delighted.
We had strong attendance at all shows and this translated into full capacity participants in other activities offered in the centre before and after the shows.
We believe that it was the attraction of The Jitterbugs that brought the crowds into the centre. Customers from outside of our traditional trading zone came "Just for The Jitterbugs".
Ellen and her crew were highly professional adopting their performance to suit the environment and the audience. Ellen made sure that two distinct shows were performed each day to encourage the audience to stay until the next show. This tactic worked very well with strong attendances of over 100 at each show. More importantly the residual impact at our retailers (especially food and beverages) was noticed with increased activity in the adjacent food court between shows.
St Ives Shopping Village will definitely be booking The Jitterbugs again for next year's program of holiday entertainment.

WINSTON HILLS MALL
The Jitterbugs brought in the crowds with their “Get Up & Go” show At Winston Hills Mall during January, 2006.
Their high energy show attracted huge audiences and their effervescent personalities coupled with great performances kept the crowds completely entertained. Their professionalism shined through as seasoned artists.
Great voices, cute costumes, catchy music, infectious energy and great fun. You couldn’t do better for a holiday show that actually entertains.
Great cast and good management!

Marketing Manager, Winston Hills Mall"

DARLING HARBOUR
The Jitterbugs performed at Darling Harbour on Australia Day 2000 to a capacity crowd of all ages, who were totally entertained and thrilled by their performance. In a time where there is an abundance of very ordinary, patronising and mostly derivative children’s entertainment, I was delightfully surprised by the very original, highly energetic and very entertaining performance. Their show is a very polished show performed by eight extremely dedicated performers and their costumed friends who have an undeniable talent for entertaining children. We will be having them back very soon!

WESTFIELD
“The Jitterbugs” presentation is “bright and tight”, reflecting long hours of rehearsal but at the same time they never appeared to lose touch with their audience, be it the young on whom their act is focused or the older folk who were obviously entertained as well. Someone in my hearing said, “Look out the Wiggles! I think they may be right. The Jitterbugs is a class kids act that stretches further than most! I was most impressed.

HORNSBY RSL CLUB
“The Jitterbugs” features uniquely bug characters on stage throughout the show with lots of audience participation and giveaways. Entertainment for the kids during school holidays has become “BIG” business which in the past has been dominated mostly by the guys - namely “The Wiggles” and “The Hooley Dooleys” and have proven very popular with the kids. But, Watch out guys! "The Jitterbugs" are on your trail!

PARRAMATTA CITY COUNCIL
On behalf of Parramatta City Council, I would like to extend our gratitude for your great work at the Australia Day Celebrations. “The Jitterbugs” delivered a fantastic show, enjoyed by children and adults alike. The choreography, costumes and repertoire were truly first class. Australia Day in Parramatta attracted record crowds this year- estimated at 180,000 throughout the day-and it is council’s belief that it was the standard of entertainment that brought the people to to park in droves. The program included James Morrison, Rhonda Burchmore, Spice Power Tribute Show, Fireworks and it was great to have “The Jitterbugs” as part of that outstanding program.

RADIO STATION 2WS
We broadcast the Classic Hits 2WS breakfast show once a month from a different school around Sydney… we call it Back To School Friday and I must say that “The Jitterbugs” have been a great additive to all our shows. Greg Pace presenter/producer from 2WS says “The children absolutely LOVE them and when all the characters come out to do their thing, it’s really hard to contain them…talk about excited!!!””
I think that it’s great that "The Jitterbugs" are out there with this energetic colourful show that’s really hard to ignore… sooner or later you feel the URGE to get up with all the kids and dance around. Someone once said “Work like you don’t need the Money and Dance like there’s no one Watching… and it’s True…” “The Jitterbugs” are always Fun, Energetic & Entertaining, a hardworking outfit that everyone loves… and the ones that are unaware of them, well…they’re missing out!

Children's Birthday Parties
Thank you so much for a wonderful day. Your services have been the best way to keep the kiddies happy and interested at our function. The jitterbugs were fantastic and the kids had a great time. The feedback I got back not only from the parents but from the kids was overwhelming. The adults were also surprised at themselves as they also participated in dancing and activities, some even got into it more than the kids. But overall, it was a great day and my wife Roula and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful performance you put on at Oliver’s christening.
We also had about 10 couples inquiring on the day. Hopefully we will see you again at another function before our second child’s christening…
