If you’re looking for an adult lyrical dance class in Woking that focuses on expression, storytelling and connection to music, we’re excited to introduce our brand new weekly adult lyrical dance class at First Dance Studios.
This class is designed for adults who want more than just learning steps. It’s about dancing with meaning, exploring emotion through movement, and enjoying the creative process in a supportive, non-pressured environment.
What is Lyrical Dance?
Lyrical dance blends the technical foundations of jazz and contemporary dance with emotional expression and musical storytelling. Movement is fluid, expressive and connected to the lyrics and mood of the music.
In our weekly Lyrical class, routines may lean more lyrical-contemporary or lyrical-jazz depending on the song and story we’re exploring. The focus is always on:
- Expression and intention
- Musicality and flow
- Connection to the story behind the movement
This makes lyrical dance a beautiful option for adults who enjoy creative, expressive dance styles.
How This Weekly Lyrical Class Works
This is a progressive weekly class. After a warm up, Julia will work on one routine over a few weeks, allowing dancers time to:
-
Learn movement with confidence
-
Develop performance quality and expression
-
Explore character, emotion and storytelling
-
Dance without the pressure of rushing to “get it done”
This approach is ideal for adults returning to dance, dancers who enjoy lyrical styles, or anyone who wants to deepen their connection to movement. There will always be a recap on previous weeks.
Class Teacher
The class is run by Julia who has a background in contemporary dance and is skilled in other styles including jazz. Julia has a particular passion for storytelling and expressive movement and this is key to her classes. Julia also runs ad-hoc 2 hour workshops where she’ll teach a full routine in 2 hours allowing time for dancers to input if they wish.
A Non-Show Adult Dance Class
This is a non-show class, meaning there’s no expectation to perform. The emphasis is on enjoyment, creativity and personal expression rather than working towards a stage performance.
It’s perfect if you:
-
Love expressive dance but don’t want show pressure
-
Want to dance for yourself, not an audience
-
Enjoy learning in a friendly, supportive environment

Our weekly Lyrical class is an adult dance class suitable for all levels, including:
-
Beginners to lyrical dance
-
Adults returning to dance after a break
-
Dancers who enjoy contemporary or jazz styles
-
Anyone wanting a creative, expressive movement class
You don’t need previous lyrical dance or contemporary dance experience just a love of music and movement.
