Lyrical by definition
Lyrical dance is the fusion of expressionistic ballet and stylized jazz forms. Expression from an inner place is a primary factor in choreographing and interpreting this dance form. A key element in lyrical is seeing the movements done in a flowing or continuous pattern. Special emphasis is placed on body placement, lines and form.

Contemporary by definition
A deconstruction of ballet principles, Modern dance seeks to find integrity in both movement and expression through the use of human relationships, sociopolitical allegories, and body-mind centering. Initially developed in the early 20th century as a concert dance form, Modern dance has evolved from pioneers such as Martha Graham. Contemporary dance utilizes dance fusion, improvisation, non-gender dynamics, acrobatic weight sharing, and historical revisionism.
