Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 4 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 4 by Darryl Retter is a collection of three recital-ready lyrical dances that combine performance choreography with progressive classroom training.
Progression Connection
What makes Danceography different is Progression Connection.
Each dance includes 10 across-the-floor progressions built directly from movement found in the corresponding choreography. Teachers can introduce these combinations during the technique-focused part of the dance year, giving students time to develop the movement vocabulary, musicality, coordination, and performance qualities they will later use in the recital dance.
Dances Included
Wonderful World - Low Intermediate Lyrical | Ages 9-11
A fresh lyrical interpretation of a timeless song, reimagined with a contemporary pop-ballad groove. The familiar musical theme gives young dancers an accessible starting point while the choreography encourages connected movement, musicality, expression, and confident performance.
Running time: 2:59
Moment - Intermediate Lyrical | Ages 12-14
A rock-ballad-style lyrical dance built around gratitude and finding something positive even when life does not go as planned. The choreography gives dancers the opportunity to explore emotional connection, musical phrasing, and mature performance while communicating an uplifting message.
Running time: 2:45
Look A Little Closer - Advanced Lyrical
An advanced lyrical dance with a pop-rock groove and a story told through the interaction between a female vocalist and an older storyteller. The message centers on searching for contentment and ultimately discovering that what we need may already be within us. The choreography challenges advanced dancers with musical interpretation, expressive storytelling, control, and mature performance quality.
Running time: 3:12

Why Teachers Love This Collection
Danceography on Lyrical gives teachers more than three finished recital routines. The Progression Connection exercises allow dancers to work with movement concepts and technical vocabulary from each piece before applying them to the choreography.
That creates a clear progression from classroom training to recital performance, while giving teachers three distinct tap pieces for different ages, levels, and performance styles.
