Lyrical vs. Contemporary - Separating the Styles

Guests - Christina Fuschetto, Maddie Kurtz
Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 3 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, Courtney and Lesley are joined by IDA judges Christina Fuschetto and Maddie Kurtz to talk about the importance of knowing the differences between lyrical and contemporary styles at competition. The conversation covers:

• The evolving definitions of lyrical and contemporary
• A brief history of both styles
• Lots of opinions about what makes a lyrical dance a lyrical dance and not a contemporary dance, and vice versa
• Advice for studio owners and teachers about where to place dancers so that they do their best work at competition

The blog that inspired this episode was released in January of 2018, and featured 4 IDA Judges, and it’s called “Contemporary vs Lyrical - Separating the Styles”. Read now!
