LEVEL 2 LYRICAL
Lyrical is a beautiful dance form that combines the techniques and movements of both jazz and ballet. In this form a dancer takes on the role of an actor and tells a story through technique and emotion. Dancers don’t express how they’re feeling with voice, but with facial expressions and body dynamics. This type of dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion as an artistic form of expression.
Contemporary Dance is a fusion of interpretive movement, incorporating ballet, jazz, lyrical, and modern technique. There are no limits for choreography and expression in a contemporary class. Emphasis is on moving in and out of traditional techniques while picking up on new, subtle movement challenges. Contemporary students an opportunity to explore their own style and tell a story through their movement.
