Does anyone know where I can find lyrical dance steps online for free?

Answer 1

Lyrical has no defined step "vocabulary" because it's basically folks pretending that they know contemporary ballet. It has no specified technique, as sipplek already suggested, therefore you won't find anyplace that clarifies the moves for you. All you'll find are videos of various songs and the moves that those choreographers dreamt up to go with them. So, when you come right down to it, who needs to find a source for steps when you can just make up whatever you want?

You would actually do better to look up acrobatic moves, as tricks are all the rage with lyrical dance. Just sprinkle them in liberally wherever you want and don't worry whether they fit with the lyrics or the music. Basically, you mime the mood of the song in a melodramatic way, roll around on the floor a bit for some added effect, and throw in a switch leap here and there for good measure. Voila! Instant lyrical.

Answer 2

I am afraid I can't directly answer your question. Lyrical is a mixture of classical ballet, jazz.and modern. The basic steps and positions are very similar to ballet steps: you have plies, passes, attitudes, arabasques, etc. They can be turned out as in classical ballet or turned in as in some modern and jazz techniques.

Lyrical is based on personal interpretation and emotions, which usually results in very fluid beautiful lines. Please try www.dance.net for more information.
