CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance thrives on creativity, blending techniques from ballet, jazz, modern, and lyrical dance. What makes it unique is its unrestricted nature. It emphasizes fluid movements and expressive storytelling, focusing on floor work rather than just leg work and pointe. This style celebrates innovation, giving dancers the freedom to push boundaries and convey emotions and narratives with unmatched originality.
LYRICAL
Lyrical dance is a beautiful fusion of ballet, jazz, acrobatics, and modern dance, weaving together the technical precision of ballet with the expressive freedom and musicality of jazz and contemporary dance forms. This style is renowned for its ability to vividly convey emotional narratives through movement, employing swift choreography that showcases both skill and emotion. At its core, lyrical dance is deeply connected to displaying a wide range of emotions, utilizing dynamic choreography to mirror the sentiment behind song lyrics. Whether performed individually or in groups, precision and synchronization play crucial roles, with dancers aiming for exact unison while expressing the emotional essence of the music. Unlike ballet, lyrical dance maintains a faster pace but doesn't reach the rapid tempo associated with jazz, striking a balance that allows for intricate movements and emotional resonance to harmoniously coexist.
