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.
The tap segments of these classes will use a graded syllabus 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. The hip hop segment introduces dancers to the energetic and expressive world of hip hop, focusing on basic moves, rhythms, and fun choreography. Students will build confidence, coordination, and a love for dance in a supportive and upbeat environment. *New for 2024-2025 - Extended Combo Classes The additional time allotted for each extended class will be spent on further refinement of skills in each discipline and learning two dances to perform in the Spring Recital. The traditional 45-minute combo class will learn one dance for the Spring Recital. |
