Lyrical
Lyrical Jazz maintains the percussive rhythmic characteristics that define jazz, but incorporates elements of ballet and modern dance to obtain a smooth look and lyrical quality. Lyrical focuses on a direct relationship between the lyrics of the song with specific dance movements, with a strong emphasis on emotional presentation of the choreography -- an innovative form of expression designed to extend the dancer's creativity. Dancers focus on technique, expression of emotion through music, floor-work, lifts, partnering, and spatial progressions. Taking a ballet class is recommended in conjunction with lyrical classes.
