Advanced Lyrical I

These are two of the today's most popular styles covered in the same class. Both styles were inspired by Modern dancers such as Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham. Contemporary dance is known for its versatility and creativity. It allows the use of a range of techniques and styles which result in an expressive use of the body as an art formation through rhythm, in space. It results in movement which involves the display of lines of energy in a dance style that is grounded, in contrast to the lightness of ballet. It uses the gravity and the swing of the body to create fluid movements using more release, ease, and freedom of design than traditional dance. Lyrical is very expressive, and sometimes an "abstract" contemporary dance, however, lyrical also, often interprets the feelings inspired by the melodies and lyrics of today's inspirational songs. This style often appears as the successful fusion of Jazz and Ballet.

This is an Advanced class. Teacher approval required. Contract FloridaDanceWorskhop@gmail.com for questions.
Contemporary and Lyrical are two of the today's most popular styles covered in the same class that hold their foundations in Ballet and Jazz. These styles were inspired by Modern dancers such as Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham. Contemporary dance is known for its versatility and creativity. It allows the use of a range of techniques and styles which result in an expressive use of the body as an art formation through rhythm, in space. It results in movement which involves the display of lines of energy in a dance style that is grounded, in contrast to the lightness of ballet. It uses the gravity and the swing of the body to create fluid movements using more release, ease, and freedom of design than traditional dance. Lyrical is very expressive, and sometimes an "abstract" contemporary dance, however, lyrical also, often interprets the feelings inspired by the melodies and lyrics of today's inspirational songs. This style often appears as the successful fusion of Jazz and Ballet.

Ballet is the foundation of all dance; for this reason, we stress its importance. Our classes are taught in the true European tradition, but in a relaxed atmosphere. They include correct placement, French terminology, barre and center work with floor combinations and variations. Traditional and Lyrical styles are presented.
Jazz is an American dance style established by varied techniques borrowed from all over the world, influenced by the musical styles of each decade. It allows a wide freedom of expression. The class provides a progressive system of exercises for physical toning, strengthening, isolations and placement. Included are terminology, barre and/or center floor warm-up, floor and corner progressions, turns, jumps and routines. Various styles such as Modern, Funk, Blues, Lyrical, and Commercial styles may be explored.
Acrobatics is a class to compliment Jazz study…basic exercises and acrobatic moves including jumps, flips, tucks, tumbles, strengthening and stretching, and are all incorporated into Jazz combinations. Students learn correct terminology. Techniques for proper execution, and safety are stressed. This art style is most commonly related to today's artists in the famous Cirque du Soleil.
