Lyrical dance combines elements of ballet and jazz dance styles. It originated in Russia in the early 20th century and became a distinct dance form in the 1970s that told stories through movement set to music. Lyrical dance gained widespread popularity in the 1990s as major dance studios began offering classes, and it was regularly featured on the television show "So You Think You Can Dance?" which began airing in 2005. Costumes for lyrical dance typically include tops, dresses, or leotards along with tights, leggings, or shorts. Fabric and color choices aim to emphasize the dancer's form and complement the theme and emotions of the dance piece.
