Contemporary / Lyrical
with Kathy Vogel

Our contemporary / lyrical class is a fusion of both contemporary and lyrical dance classes. You will learn techniques in both styles while incorporating ballet and jazz moves, which challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. Our choreography is emotional, gripping, and delicate all at the same time. We believe that the lyrics of a song are the driving force and the inspiration of the behind the movement. Our class is perfect for both absolute beginners and experienced performers. You’ll learn fun dance moves such as leaps and turns that are airy and flowing. You’ll get to explore both contemporary and lyrical dance movements characterized by their fluidity and grace, but most importantly – you’ll get to have fun doing it!

Contemporary / Lyrical Dance Class What to Wear: Wear something that allows you to move freely and comfortably. You’ll want to have clothing that allows for a wide range of motion where you can move freely. Your outfit should be fitted, but not too restrictive. You can always wear layers like sweatpants, sweatshirts, or long-sleeved t-shirts to class and remove them as you go along. For contemporary dance, students usually keep their feet bare or wear dance socks. In this style of dance, there’s an emphasis on being grounded and having a connection through mind and body, so you’ll want to wear clothing that promotes comfort above all else.

Contemporary / Lyrical Class Drop Ins: Drop ins are allowed.
