Welcome to our Lyrical and Contemporary Kids Dance Class! Our class is designed to introduce children to the beauty of lyrical dance while also providing a fun and safe environment to explore their creativity and self-expression.
Lyrical and contemporary dance is a blend of ballet and jazz techniques with a focus on interpreting the emotions and lyrics of a song through movement. We will then learn the basics of lyrical dance techniques, including proper posture, alignment, and fluid movements.
Contemporary Kids Dance Classes are designed to introduce children to the artistry and expressive nature of contemporary dance while also providing a fun and safe environment to explore their creativity and self-expression.
Contemporary dance is a genre that combines elements of ballet, modern, and jazz dance. It is known for its fluidity, emotional expression, and versatility. We put a big focus on the history and culture of Lyrical and Contemporary dance.
