Lyrical dance is a form of dance that combines aspects of modern dance, ballet, acrobatics, jazz dance, and other dance styles. Fluidity, strong emotions, and physicalization of song lyrics are distinguishing elements of lyrical dance choreography.

Lyrical dance may get its name from both the fluid motions of the dance form and from song lyrics themselves, which inspire the tone and choreography of a given dance. Stylized, expressive, and fluid, lyrical dance is a type of contemporary dance that incorporates a variety of dance techniques.
