Lyrical dance is often choreographed to a song about freedom, of releasing a sad emotion, or of overcoming obstacles, but can be choreographed to any human emotion-related song. It is a combination of intricate, highly technical, and pedestrian/naturalistic moves. Lyrical dance is expressive, subtle and dynamic, expressing emotions through movement. Lyrical dance gained its name not because the lyrics of a song are indeed sometimes highlighted over the rhythm, but because of the meaning of the word lyrical: having a poetic, expressive quality musical characterized by or expressing spontaneous, direct feeling expressing deep personal emotions or observation highly rhapsodic or enthusiastic. Choreography is often emotional, gripping, and exquisitely delicate, all at the same time. (To a much lesser degree, punk and swing styles have also been a minor influence.) It is mainly performed to music with lyrics, and the song's lyrics are a driving force and key inspiration for the movement. Lyrical dance has a relatively recent history and a genesis based on the coming together of ballet with rock/folk/pop/alternative music and a variety of jazz dance styles and modern dance. It portrays certain emotions such as love, and tells a story through every movement made.

Lyrical jazz is a very passionate and emotional dance style. A lyrical dancer's movements attempt to show the meaning of the music. Lyrical dance challenges choreographers and dancers to use motion to interpret music and express emotion. Lyrical dance is a fusion of ballet and jazz dance techniques.
