Lyrical dance is a fusion of Ballet with Jazz and Contemporary dance techniques. It is a style of dance that is soft and expressive with lovely bodylines.

Lyrical dance style has its primary basis in Ballet, combining the many technical elements of Classical Ballet with the freedom and airier aspects of Jazz, Contemporary and Modern dance. It is typically considered a sub-category of Jazz and/or Contemporary dance, the latter itself being an emerging category. Lyrical dance is expressive, simultaneously subtle and dynamic, focused on conveying musicality and emotion through movement. It is a combination of intricate, highly technical, and pedestrian/naturalistic moves. It is commonly set to popular music with vocals as well as rich instrumental portions of a pop song.

Lyrical inspires choreographers and dancers to use movement to interpret music and express emotion. More so than other aforementioned dance style, a Lyrical performance aligns with the essence of a musical piece, in addition to highlighting the beauty, openness and strength of the dancer.

It is compulsory that students attend a Ballet class if wishing to do this style of dance.\
