Lyrical Dance

A popular style of dance especially with teens, generally using music sung with expressive, meaningful lyrics. Beautiful flowing movements whether slow, quick, small and delicate or big and sweeping, inspire the dancers creative expression. Lyrical is based on a combination of ballet and jazz technique so is easier to learn after a student has been exposed to both those styles.
