Lyrical/Contemporary

Lyrical/Contemporary is a Ballet class at Beyond the Barre Dance Academy.

At Beyond the Barre Dance Academy

(grades 4-12) Contemporary is a blend of Lyrical, Jazz, Ballet and Modern and includes both fluid and percussive movements with emotion to tell a story or give a message. During the warmup, we will focus on improving flexibility, extension, core strength, and balance. Students will learn how to express a wide range of emotions through their dance based on musical interpretation. Contemporary combinations will consist of abstract movements that combine modern and classical ballet elements. Students will learn how to quickly change tempo and create sharp and clean transitions. *Students must take ballet in conjunction with Lyrical / Contemporary*
