Lyrical Dance Classes in Longridge

What is Lyrical Dance?

Lyrical dance is a style that combines ballet and jazz dancing techniques. It is performed to music with lyrics so that it inspires expression of strong emotions the choreographer feels from the lyrics of the song. This style concentrates on an individual approach and expressiveness of such emotions as love, joy, hurt, or anger. It does not concentrate on the dancer’s precision of movement.

Lyrical dance tends to cover a large amount of space on the stage or dance room floor. The dancers travel with high and soaring leaps and graceful turns and walks. It is challenging for choreographers and dancers to interpret the music. Movements in lyrical are fluid, continuous, and graceful, with the dancer flowing seamlessly from one move to another with little or no stopping, holding finishing steps as long as possible. These emotional dance moves help the dancer connect on an emotional level with the audience.
