What's the difference between jazz, lyrical jazz, jazz funk, and modern dance?

Question

I want to sign up for a class and I'm not sure what the terms mean. Regular ballet and hip hop are also offered, and at least I know what those look like.

Also, what's your favourite?

Thanks for your help! =)

Answer 1

Jazz: Jazz is like, kinda broadway-like without singing. Like, stage dance. It's really up beat.

Lyrical: It's Ballet, jazz, and a little modern. A lot is based on the lyrics of the song you dance to, and that's why they call it lyrical.

Funk: It's like hip hop. Only more like, easy, and not as gangster.

Sorry I don't know anything about modern.

Answer 2

My favorite is ballet.

Jazz dance is a form of modern dance which is heavily influenced by the sounds, rhythms, and techniques of jazz music, with an emphasis on showcasing individual skills, and jazz dancers are skilled at improvisation as well as working with other dancers to achieve a desired look and feel

Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques

Jazz funk a type of dance music that incorporates jazz and funk

modern dance is a dance style that centers on a dancer's own interpretations instead structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing.  Turning against the structured techniques, dancers began rebelling against the rigid rules of classical ballet.costumes and shoes of ballet, these dancers favaored a more relaxed, free style of dancing.
