Answer 2

OK, not to burst your bubble, but alternative/rock doesn't work that well with modern or lyrical, as they are both artsy and lyrical especially, is more like ballet. Some songs you can use are:

-Slow Me Down: Emmy Rossum

-All Fall Down: One Republic

-Better Than Me: Hinder

-Drum Trip: Rusted Root

Ask your modern teacher if you need more songs to choose from. Modern teachers tend to find really cool songs that are fun to dance to. Good Luck!
