Intermediate Lyrical, Bundle 1 by Darryl Retter
Bring structure, technical progression, and expressive movement to your lyrical classes with this ready-to-teach collection of five class plans. Intermediate Lyrical, Bundle 1 is based on Darryl Retter’s Jazz Technique and gives teachers a progressive framework for developing strength, control, musicality, coordination, and performance quality.
Designed for dancers ages 11–13 who take at least three dance classes per week, this level works especially well for students training in Ballet, Jazz, and Lyrical. Each class plan combines center technique, jumps, across-the-floor progressions, and a dance combination to challenge developing dancers while reinforcing strong technical foundations.
Bundle 1 includes Class Plans 1–5 of the Intermediate Lyrical curriculum.
Each class plan includes detailed video demonstrations and teacher notes designed to support consistent instruction, progressive skill development, and confident classroom teaching.
