Pre-Int Lyrical-Kimberley
Lyrical dance is a dance style that blends jazz and ballet together. Known for its fluid movement and strong emotional content, lyrical dance focuses on telling a story with movement to a slow ballad song. Powerful, expressive songs are often used in lyrical dance to give the dancer the chance to express a range of strong emotions through their movement. Dancers will perform 1 routine in the year end production and will require one costume. PRE-REQUISITE 11 years of age and up AND currently enrolled in either a classical ballet technique class OR jazz technique class.
