Often shortened to just "lyrical", lyrical jazz is similar to normal jazz, but slowed down and much more expressive!. It can also be described as jazz mixed with ballet!. It requires grace, poise, expression, and control!. It's different to jazz in that you use slower music, and instead of being "jazzy", over the top and smiley, you have to be expressive and show through dancing the emotions of the music!.

I'm sure if you are enrolled in the right class, it will not be so hard!.

It is fun, and involves as much movement as any other style of dance!.

If you enjoy slow songs such as "The Voice Within", "Sugarcane", "You Raise Me Up" etc and love to dance expressively to these songs, you will love lyrical!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I Love lyrical jazz!.!.It my fav dance! I'm sure you'll enjoy it too!
And don't worry about how many questions you have:) It's better to ask:D
I'll try and explain it the best i can!.
Lyrical jazz is a mix between lyrical and jazz!.!.the name kinda explains that part!. So you know how jazz is really lively and up beat it more toned down!.!.but not as slow and graceful as lyrical is!. It incorporates different feeling in the dance!. Some moves may be slower and more emotional and then some moves in the dance will be fast and sharp!. It's really cool to put it all together and get different styles all in one dance!
So yeah it's pretty much like jazz with more emotion and slower tempo!.
The most challenging part is probably just getting the timing and emotion!. also technique!. I would say I think it will be good for you! Probably won't be to easy!.
YES It's a lot of fun!. And for movement !.!.every dance involves a lot of movement so yeah it does too!. But it's not like all sharp and fast!

Have fun at it!
