Lyrical dance is a style that combines elements of ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance, characterised by its emotional expression and flowing movements. Often set to music with powerful lyrics, lyrical dance focuses on conveying the emotions and story behind the song through expressive choreography. Unlike formal dance styles that follow a set syllabus, lyrical dance is more freeform, allowing for creative expression and individual interpretation. In competition settings, it’s popular for its dramatic quality, technical precision, and the ability to connect deeply with the audience. Lyrical dancers use their movements to communicate raw emotion, making it a favourite in both solo and group performances where artistry and storytelling take centre stage.
