LYRICAL
Lyrical dance is a beautiful and expressive style that combines elements of ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. Your dancers will learn how to convey a range of emotions, from joy and love to sadness and longing, through fluid and graceful movements.
Students will train in lyrical dance techniques, including flexibility, balance, and control, in order to execute lyrical motions with precision and grace. As they progress, dancers will discover how to tell a story or convey a message through dance, using both choreography and your personal interpretation, as well as developing an acute sense of musicality to nhancing the emotional impact of your performance.
