What is lyrical dancing?

Question

Ok, so starting soon I'll be taking a lyrical dance class. I've never taken lyrical before, and don't know anyone that has. So my question is, what exactly IS lyrical dancing?

Answer 1

I have been taking dance cor 10 years and lyrical dance is more like an up beat ballet! It is also mixed with jazz, modern and of course ballet

Answer 2

Lyrical dancing is like a mix between ballet and jazz. It's more free than ballet and not confined to certain movements but more flowy than jazz. The whole point of lyrical usually is to follow the lyrics of a song and express the meaning of it.

hope that helps! and have fun!

Answer 3

Lyrical dancing is dancing to the lyrics. It is a lot like acting.

Answer 4

i am a dancer so....... lyrical dance is all about expressing yourself and telling a story.   i find it to be a fast ballet piece because it is somewhat fast but graceful.   it is my favorite kind of dance.

Answer 5

Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques.

Lyrical dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. A lyrical dancer's movements attempt to show the meaning of the music. Lyrical jazz is a very passionate and emotional dance style. It portrays certain emotions such as love, and tells a story through every movement made.

Answer 6

Hello, I take all types of dance including lyrical. Lyrical is a combination between ballet and jazz. It shows expression and it depends on the teacher but its very flowy dancing in general. It all flows together to great a wonderful piece. Sometimes it tells a story, sometimes the lyrics tell and you must dance, sometimes its just a fun way to express the true you. Good luck with classes!
