Dancers that perform musical theater are usually referred to as “triple threats” for their ability to sing, dance, and act because the style of dance blends the performance of choreography and vocals in the form of singing and acting.

Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. Lyrical has been said to be a fusion of ballet, jazz, and contemporary styles of dance. It is the personal expression of the choreographer to music with lyrics that expresses a strong emotional interpretation of the chosen song. Dancers use their bodies as well as facial movements to express the emotions of the lyrics.

Technique is the basis of all fundamentals of dance, from holding your body correctly while performing to executing skills properly in a routine technique.

Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Two significant variations of tap dance exist rhythm (jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses on dance; it is widely performed in musical theater.

There are different brands of shoes that sometimes differ in the way they sound.

Ballet is an art form created by the movement of the human body. It is theatrical – performed on a stage to an audience utilizing costumes, scenic design, and lighting. It can tell a story or express a thought, concept, or emotion. Ballet dance can be magical, exciting, provoking, or disturbing.
