Dance

Lyrical is a type of dance that expresses your emotions and observations.

You can not take lyrical back into a certain time period, and lyrical has no certain history. Lyrical is a type of dance that is combined with the two dance forms of jazz, modern, and ballet. When you dance a lyrical dance it is not so much the technique that matters, but more the emotions that you show while you dance.
Lyrical is unique in the fact that there is never a right or wrong way to dance. Your movement is always different from others dancers movement. When a choreographer is choreographing for a lyrical piece they often times choose a story to express during the dance. Sometimes the dance will tell a story of an experience, most of the time death or cancer, and hope that the dancer/dancers will deliver the performance and emotional energy levels.
