Lyrical is an expressive genre of dance that focuses on control and fluidity of movement.  Heavily focused on ballet technique and terminology, dancers will develop their musicality, advance their performance skills and solidify their ballet/jazz technique.  A complete understanding of ballet technique and the ability to express emotions through movement is necessary to succeed in this style.

Contemporary

Expands on the technique and movements learned in lyrical class.  Growing over popularity in the last decade the contemporary style aims to push dancers and their movement in new directions. Experimentation and improvisation often play a large part in creating contemporary movement.  Understanding how your body moves through space, shifting of weight and momentum, floor work and overall body strength and control all play a critical role in this style of dance.
