Lyrical is one of our most popular styles. It uses the mood of the music to bring out the movements from the dancers. The music for lyrical is emotionally charged and expressive. The lyrics of the chosen song serve as an inspiration for the dancers’ movements and expressions. Movements in lyrical dance are characterized by fluidity and grace, with the dancer flowing seamlessly from one move to another, holding finishing steps as long as possible. Leaps are exceptionally high and soaring, and turns are fluid and continuous.

​

Contemporary is a style which stresses versatility and improvisation. It is an organic, expressive style where the dancers explore freedom of movement, allowing their bodies to freely express their innermost feelings and depict stories. The movement style ranges from sharp and fast to emotional and is performed to a wide range of music.
