Little Glimmers Lyrical

Lyrical is a favorite style among many dancers. It is very popular in the dance world and competitive arena. Lyrical tells the story of music through expressive choreography. It is a fusion style and pulls from technique in classical Ballet and Jazz. When aspiring young dancers say "I want to do THAT", it is often a routine in this style.

Various turns, jumps, and down the floor progressions will be introduced and perfected to broaden the dancer's skill set. Choreography will focus on building emotive expression and stylization.
