Catherine’s Dance Studio offers Lyrical Dance and Contemporary Dance Classes Nearby in Parkville
Lyrical and Contemporary dance styles include a variety of techniques from ballet and jazz. In these styles, the lyrics of a song are used to tell a story through movement. This style encourages dancers to dig deep and tune with their emotions.
What is Lyrical Dance?
This fusion of Contemporary and Lyrical Dance challenges dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion through dance; we call it creative improvisation. Choreography is often powerful and poised all at the same time. Fluid movements and connections immerse a dancer in this modern style of dance.
Our studio looks for coordination and emotional focus as the root of these dance classes. Ballet and Jazz must be taken as a prerequisite or with a Lyrical and Contemporary class.
It’s common to see audience members shed a tear during a lyrical dance piece. Combining expressive movement, powerful music, and evocative themes can create a truly unforgettable experience that resonates with the soul.
Lyrical dance is a dance style that is both beautiful to watch and emotionally captivating.
Lyrical and Contemporary Attire
“The grace and poise that a student learns in Ballet are transferred to other dances and to a girl’s life out of the studio as well. When I see a girl walking, I can tell she is a dancer. Her shoulders are back, she holds her head high, and she has that extra poise that comes from being a Ballet dancer. She carries herself differently, she is stronger and she knows it. She is a Dancer and that helps define who she is and where she thinks she belongs in the world. What parents give their girls and what she gives to herself in the dance studio makes a difference in her life.” – Catherine Stephenson
