We offer Lyrical/Contemporary classes for ages 6 and up. Lyrical is a slow, expressive type of dance that incorporates ballet technique. This dance style’s main goal is to interpret the lyrics of the song through movement. Contemporary dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet but while maintaining a ballet base, while focusing on the expression of inner feelings, emphasizing creativity in choreography and performance.
