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.
