Open to all levels/experience! Lyrical is a highly expressive form of jazz dance that provides students not only with healthy exercise but also with an outlet to express their emotions through dance. Each week in this course, students will be provided with a comprehensive warm-up before learning a short 1-2 minute combination of lyrical choreography. New songs and combinations each week means you can join this course at any time. Choreography is beginner friendly with alternative options given for more advanced dancers and those looking for a bit of a challenge.
