Coming from a non-athletic, non-coordinated, non-dance background there is a huge amount of small, precise things you body needs to strengthen then learn how to use. It will take quite a bit of time before you really see and/or feel the results you're looking for. Lots of deep, juicy, smooth plie as well.Īs a final note. Involving the whole body (torso and back mostly) is what will make the movement look big and beautiful. That an arm movement (or any movement really) is not just about the part you supposed to be moving. The softness of your hand is what will give the effect of the soft flow.Īs a general note when dancing, especially something that is supposed to flow nicely, remember to dance with your whole body. Having a nice long line in your arm that connects well from your back beautiful is worth nothing without a nice soft hand to compliment that arm. Ballet will help you with the core strength and leg training as well as giving you the knowledge and feeling of the positions your arms will be based on.Īs far as a pointer for when you do get going with lyrical. Specifically, coordinating your arms and legs in a fluid, soft manner as you dance. Lyrical dance has a lot to do with lines. I would say get yourself into a ballet class. More info: Female, 23, grew up unathletic and uncoordinated. I hope to hear your suggestions, you all seem so awesome. (Hence why I feel the urge to learn to dance.) It's like my body is having a hard time translating how I'm feeling. I don't even consider myself a dancer yet since the tricks I do on the pole are basic stuff and when I try to dance in between tricks I feel like I'm missing something. I hope you can give some advice to a newbie dancer such as myself. I tried looking at the FAQs to see if there are resources but for some reason reddit won't let me access the wiki :( I have my own pole at home so I can work on my strength, but I really want to learn how to be as nimble/smooth/fluid as this. In short, all of those things that she's doing without the pole, that's what I want to learn how to do.

I got inspired to learn since I recently started poledancing and I love Amy Hazel's style. I've seen a lot of beginners ask about ballet and hip-hop, I'm wondering which style I should try out first for me to learn lyrical dance. Hi, I have no dance background, and I am interested in learning the basics of lyrical dance, or at least fundamentals/techniques in dancing to begin with.
