Our posts this week were based on our favourite dance style, and I found it soooooo hard to pick whether mine was acro or lyrical, but you can probably guess by the title which one I went for!One of the things I love about lyrical is I can fuse together my love for contemporary, acro and movement within this style, and I love the way the moves flow and the use of expression.
In my opinion one of the things that separates someone who dances from a true dancer is the use of expression, in both the movements and facial expressions. I feel that lyrical gives me the opportunity to enhance my facials, whilst using movements that are complimentary to my music. Lyrical dance has been a love of mine right from when I discovered it whilst watching solos on YouTube. From there, I was led to a dance channel called KBM Talent, which is run by Krista Miller and the amazing Autumn Miller. They posted tutorials on lyrical and contemporary moves, which enabled me to piece together my own solos to share with my family and friends at my dance school.
Throughout the years it is safe to say I have improved dramatically, from my turns and leaps to my ability to pick up the choreography from online lessons easily. I am currently putting together a solo hopefully for display at my school dance show, which would be a huge opportunity for me to show a style most people haven't seen me perform before, which would be extremely exciting.
If you are interested in starting to learn lyrical, I have linked a few dance channels for tutorials and inspiration.
