Be Lyrical

We don’t dance because the music is playing – we dance because the music reaches into our very souls and urges us to respond.

Key Characteristics of the Be Lyrical category:

Emotional expression: The primary focus is conveying deep emotions like love, loss, hope, or longing.

Fluid movement: Movements tend to be smooth, continuous, and graceful, emphasising flow and connection between steps.

Storytelling: Dancers might choose to interpret and physically embody the lyrics or emotional tone of the music.

Technique: The dance draws on the foundational strength and understanding of the fundamentals of Modern BluesFusion.

Musicality: Dancers will respond to both the rhythm and the lyrical content of the music as well as using musical punctuation to breathe life into the connection between movement and music.

This is a Modern BluesFusion category, and as such partners will be expected to be dancing together, incorporating lead / follow techniques throughout.

This category is open-to-all and a brand new category for CBC 2025
