Our Lyrical classes offer a first step towards our Modern/Contemporary classes while still working towards building the dancers ballet technique. Modern/Contemporary combines stretching and strengthening to lengthen a dancer's muscles and body. Extensive center warmup and cross floor material is taught. Core strength is developed to facilitate execution of skills and follows traditional styles of movement. Program explores the qualities of released and off-balance dancing while daring students to find disparate qualities of stillness and explosion. Students are encouraged to develop an individual style driven by their internal life and the specificity of their bodies. <b>Prior ballet and/or jazz experience required.</b> Please visit our website at <a href="http://www.napervilleparks.org/dance" target="_self">www.napervilleparks.org/dance</a> for dress code information.
