Lyrical + Contemporary

ages 8+

Lyrical dance combines elements of ballet and jazz to create a soft style that emphasizes the storytelling quality of music.  An emphasis is placed on grace and fluidity, musicality, and expressiveness to capture emotion through movement.

Contemporary dance combines elements of lyrical, modern, jazz, and ballet to express themes through movement.  An emphasis is placed on fluidity of movement, floor work, directional and rhythmic changes, and control.
