Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 3 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 3 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
I Wanna Believe - Low Intermediate Lyrical | Ages 9-11
A heartfelt lyrical dance inspired by the power and innocence of a child’s imagination. The piece invites dancers to explore wonder, optimism, and expressive storytelling while creating a performance that celebrates seeing the world through a younger perspective.
Running time: 3:08
Rain - Intermediate Lyrical | Ages 12-14
An emotionally driven lyrical piece centered on perseverance and continuing forward even when circumstances feel difficult. The choreography gives dancers the opportunity to develop emotional connection, musicality, and expressive movement while communicating a message of resilience and hope.
Running time: 2:49
Like I Do - Advanced Lyrical
An electronica-pop ballad built around the idea of recognizing someone’s potential even when they may not yet see it themselves. Created for strong lyrical dancers, the choreography challenges performers with more demanding movement, musical interpretation, control, and mature performance quality.
Running time: 3:16

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.
