Class Descriptions (for newer or different types of classes)
Modern Dance
Born in the early 20th century, modern dance is a dance style that centers on a dancer's own interpretations instead of structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing. Dancers are more relaxed with a free style of dancing. Modern is danced in bare feet. This style encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines.
Lyrical Dance
A dance style that blends ballet and jazz dance. Lyrical is generally smoother and a bit faster that ballet, but mot quite as fast as jazz. A lyrical dancer uses movement to express strong emotions such as love, joy and anger. Powerful, expressive songs are often used in lyrical dance to give dancers a chance to express strong emotions through their dancing. Movements are much more fluid and graceful.
