Lyrical / Contemporary
Lyrical dance is expressive, simultaneously subtle and dynamic, focused on conveying musicality and emotion through movement. It encourages self expression, natural movement and personal interpretation and combines the many technical elements of ballet with the freedom, fluidity and expressiveness.
​
​Contemporary dance is an important and enjoyable style of dance helping to develop strength, flexibility and creating a strong contrast to classical ballet. There are many different styles of contemporary dance and teachers focus on various elements including floorwork, exercises and choreography. All classical ballet dancers now have to have a knowledge of contemporary dance as many classical ballet choreographers use this style of movement within their ballets.​​​
