There’s one thing dancers have…and that’s great posture!  Some cases of lower back and neck pain are due to poor posture. Our understanding of the human body and how it reacts during loco-motor and non-locomotor movements is unique in that most of us have trained as dancers since the age of 3.  This gives us a unique perspective and understanding of the human body unlike any other profession. Our 1/2 hour posture lab class not only includes an analysis of posture related issues/concerns, but will walk you through a series of exercises to help you maintain better alignment and increase range of motion.

Lyrical dance is a style of dance created by merging ballet, jazz and contemporary dance techniques. Lyrical dancing is performed to music with lyrics to inspire movements to express strong emotions the choreographer feels from the lyrics in the chosen song.  Because lyrical dancing focuses on the expression of strong emotion, the style concentrates more on individual approach and expressiveness than the precision of the dancer’s movements. The emergent lyrical style has a relatively recent history and a genesis based on the coming together of ballet with rock/folk/pop/alternative music and a variety of jazz dance styles and modern dance.
