With a ballet background you have a great and solid foundation for many other types of dance, for lyrical dancing I would suggest taking classes at a local community or dance center. Even health clubs now offer dance classes these days, and the rates are often included in the regular monthly fees! In addition, I have noticed that sites like YouTube also have instructors and amateurs teaching various styles of dance with their own short instructional videos. They are pretty fun and very popular. Good luck/have fun! :-D

Personally, I think lyrical is a lot easier than ballet. Lyrical really is abotu emotion while ballet, althoguh beautiful, is very strict and has a lot of rules. As yoru probably know, lyrical came from the roots of ballet so it really is the same thing. The difference is emotion. Ballet is like, "Don't think about it, you do what youa re told to do while lyrical is more relaxed. But to the point. really the only thing I can think of is the spins and to get intot he song. Lyrical also has some floorwork weaved into it in more or less. Oh and of course, lyrical does not have so much of the foot positions as ballet does. It concentrates more on the emotion like I have said so many times before.

Lyrical dancing is a combination of other dance forms. Like jazz,modern, ballet. Sometimes when you go to try out for a new broadway musical they prefer it if you have had lyrical as well as ballet. Ballet is great. Ballet is beautifull. But you will not always be able to be on point. Age 25 is really old for a Ballet dancer.There are exceptions of course, Dame Margot Fonteyn stayed to dance with Rudolf Nureyev.
By taking lyrical dance you insure a longer dance life. You will be able to dance in slippers or barefoot. And believe me when you are 25 you will be glad you learned lyrical.Don't stop taking ballet class though, you need that barr.

Learn jazz and don't bother with lyrical. Lyrical does not have a defined syllabus or style. If you're ever forced to lower yourself to perform lyrical pieces, you could easily pull it off with a background in ballet and jazz.
