When my daughter takes a Modern theatre dance exam, there is a section where they have to perform a set dance. There are two dances to choose from.One is usually an up tempo jazzy number and the second is a more floaty type of balletic piece.hope this helps.

Answer 2

lyrical is pretty much ballet and jazz mushed together and has a more emotional feeling.

there is technique, control, grace, and style.

while modern and contemporary have little to no technique in them it's mainly style and control.

Answer 3

lyrical dance, is an expressive and a emotional dance style.

Yes, lyrical does contain parts of ballet.

Lyrical sometimes gets mistaken for contemporary or modern.

Lyrical is in between contemporary and ballet.

It can be very graceful and meaningful like ballet

and can range from whole different movements like contemporary!!
