Lyrical's are expressions of musical lyrics through your body. Singers sing and actors speak, while dancers tell their stories through movement.
There's a story behind what you're doing, and these classes give you a chance to connect emotionally to the lyrics and the music!
With a ballet foundation and utilizing technique, Lyricals involve slow, controlled, and powerful movement!
