Lyrical dance is the fusion of ballet and jazz technique.
Expression from the inner emotion is a primary factor in choreographing and interpreting this art form. A key element in looking
at a lyrical piece is seeing the movements done in a flowing or continuos pattern. Instead of individual phrases, it reads
more like a paragraph to use a story analogy. Lyrical dance interprets music or words, showing the audience the emotion of
the particular piece. The lines are traditional in nature with a technique base that determines the correct placement of the
body angles. The motion is on a central axis and is usually centered.
