The Jazz curriculum at BLDC is based on the classical jazz dance technique, with influences incorporated from modern jazz, street jazz and Broadway styles. We follow a class format for building strength, flexibility, coordination, rhythm and musicality through isolations, rhythmic exercises, stretches, across the floor patterns, and dance combinations.
The class format remains the same through the different levels, while the movements continue to increase in complexity as students grow technically and physically. Students experience a fun and energetic learning environment designed to bring out the students' individual dance style and originality. Because Jazz draws technique and terminology from ballet, enrolling in a ballet class can also be helpful for jazz dancers. |
