Contemporary and modern are different!.

The problem about contemporary is that there's no right and wrong, and there's many different styles--some more modern like and some more lyrical like!.

Personally however, I would suggust taking lyrical, as So You Think You Can Dance contemporary pieces are usually closest to lyrical!.
