No, it's where you dance and talk with your body and hands! Very similar to panamining but with your body! ... It's absolutely beautiful to watch and see!

It's a cross between ballet and jazz, but with much less technique because it allows a lot of one's own (or the choreographer's) moves. In many cases, it is half miming the lyrics and half random tricks thrown in for good measure.

It's kinda like a mixture between ballet and jazz, but it's more about emotions rather than technique. There are no specific positions in lyrical like there are in ballet. Lyrical is all about speaking through your body, so it often involves you bending and stretching yourself into unnatural positions. And, no it's nothing like hip-hop at all!

lyrical is like a slow type of jazz, its where you really express your feelings through dance and make big, but slow movements. It also may use certain moves from ballet.
