Discover the storytelling power of Lyrical Dance. This beautiful, deeply expressive art form blends the foundational grace of ballet with the dynamic fluidity of jazz. Performed to powerful music with meaningful lyrics, lyrical dance prioritises personal interpretation, emotional storytelling, and artistic freedom over rigid mechanical precision. It is the perfect discipline for dancers who want to connect genuinely with an audience and express emotions like joy, love, power, and resilience.
What to Expect in Class
Lyrical dance is characterised by expansive, continuous choreography that utilises the entire studio space. Dancers will focus on:
Fluidity & Flow: Moving seamlessly from one posture to the next with continuous, uninterrupted momentum.
Dynamic Travel: Mastering soaring leaps, sweeping turns, and graceful footwork that cross the floor.
Emotional Interpretation: Learning to channel the raw narrative of a song’s lyrics into physical movement and facial expressions.
Sustained Energy: Training the body to hold finishing steps and extensions as long as possible for maximum dramatic impact.
Our lyrical dance classes follow the syllabus of the ABD (Associated Board of Dance). ABD is a dance examination board that offers regulated examinations in dance core subjects which are accredited by GQAL & OFQUAL and offers accredited technical examinations and medal tests in all forms of dance.
