Lyrical/Contemporary

Lyrical and Modern are very interchangeable dance forms and often coincide with one another. They both focus on telling a story through dance and the movement of the body. Both tend to emphasize the lyrics and the music that they are being performed to. They also focus on such techniques as Fall and Recover, Contract and Release and the movement of your body through your breath.
