Choosing the Right Class for You
Lyrical dance spans a spectrum—from gentle and introspective to dynamically athletic. Keep these in mind:
- Style match: Prefer emotional storytelling? Seek studios with contemporary fusion. Drawn to technicality? Look for ballet-heavy lyrical.
- Class size: Smaller groups (8–12 students) ensure personalized feedback.
- Music vibe: Studios curate playlists differently—ask if they use live piano, pop covers, or orchestral pieces.
