A lyrical dance is a dance style which combines elements of ballet, modern and jazz dance techniques. It is most commonly set to popular music with vocals. The choreography imitates or pantomimes the lyrics of the music to which the dance is set. This includes the dancer's use of gesture, facial expression, and melodrama to bring the dance to life. Lyrical dance is a very popular form of dance due to its ease in physicality and can serve as a vehicle for personal emotional expression through movement and musicality.
