BLDC strives to provide a well–rounded dance education for our students. Through the study of multiple dance forms, our students are given the opportunity to reap the specific benefits of each discipline. Our Combination Classes are perfect for the dancer who wishes to explore various facets of dance. Al Gilbert’s world-renowned graded tap syllabus will be used in all tap portions of class along with supplementary methods to emphasize proper technique, rhythm, timing, musicality, and precise tap sounds. 
​

The jazz segment of this class 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. Dancers are encouraged to enroll in a ballet class as well.

1st-3rd Grade Tap/Jazz Combo
Monday: 6:30-7:15 pm
Thursday: 4:45-5:30 pm

Fall Registration opens August 6th!
