Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

lyrical dancing is usually a very slow and emotional contemporary/modern ballet thing, similar to neo classical!. basically ballet with a modern twist and a TON of emotion!.
watch so you think you can dance - the american series, there's lots of lyrical dance
i think it's the best genre of dance because it so full of emotion, and it really gets the audience going!. Best done with a partner!.

ummm lyrical is usually slower, with more ballet technique moves, whilst modern is all new movment and can be anything really, literally ANY MOVEMENT!.
and can be any speed with any number of people!.

okay im not the best at explaining but its sort of flowing like contemporary dance!. a little like Jazz and slightly like ballet!. its a very expressive form of dance and requires a lot of emotion to be performed well!. the movements are 'softer' in comparison to modern dance and although there are still technical movements its a type of dance which you have more freedom to express it how you want to!.!.sorry im not very good at explaining but hoped that helped a little =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
