Lyrical is a highly technical dance form in which the knowledge of other dance styles benefits a dancer.  Therefore dancers who take lyrical must also be enrolled in a ballet and/or jazz technique class.

A Step Above Dance & Music Academy offers many levels which are based on age, technique ability, and the director's recommendation.  All of our lyrical classes are invited to perform in our annual Spring Performance.  Please contact our office to see which level will be best for you.
