Lyrical dance is a dance style that blends ballet, jazz, and contemporary. Music used for lyrical is typically emotionally charged and expressive. Music may consist of many genres including ballads, pop, rock and hip hop. Movements in lyrical dance are characterized by fluidity and grace, with the dancer flowing seamlessly from one move to another, holding finishing steps as long as possible. Leaps are exceptionally high and soaring, and turns are fluid and continuous. The class is made up of three components – Warm-up, technique such as turns, leaps and flexibility, then they work on a choreographed routine.
