![]() “You could dance lyrical to Celine Dion or Missy Elliott or Beethoven…the possibilities are limitless,” Bufferd affirms. That brings the question of what kind of music can accompany lyrical, or typically does accompany it. Lyrical began as a way to tell a story of a particular song through movement. While it’s certainly not a scientific sample, one can see here that there’s no shared, strict definition of lyrical amongst dance teaching artists. Kuhnberg says that dance parents will often ask her what lyrical is, and her go-to definition is “ballet technique with jazz styling with a mix of storytelling tied to a song.” That usually suffices to clear up parents’ confusion, she explains. He also believes that lyrical itself is “a style, not a technique.” With a riff on that sentiment, Bufferd says, ”Lyrical is a vibe if there’s a story to it, you’re probably dancing a derision of something that is a mature version of lyrical.”īufferd offers an analogy of an impressionist painting, particularly applicable to lyrical amongst dance forms - technique is the strokes in the painting, and style is the aesthetic effect one experiences when stepping back to see the full, clear picture. “If you don’t have that strong technical ballet base, it’s not going to feel good,” he affirms. What is lyrical? Where does it come from?īufferd sees lyrical as a derivative of jazz, “a freeing and beautiful jazz idiom.” Campros sees that jazz and ballet technical base but underscores ballet over jazz. There were so many great songs worth listening to and dancing to, all from great artists that people still idolize today.To get clarity on these questions, Dance Informa speaks with three teaching artists: Jen Kuhnberg of Arlington Dance Place and Cheryl A Sullivan’s School of Dance and director of OnStage Dance Company Emily Bufferd of Steps on Broadway and Broadway Dance Center (BDC) and producer of The Young Choreographer’s Festival and Eric John Campros of BDC. The 90s was the decade that marked the turn of the century, but, as you can see, it even marked the turn of the musical landscape.
