Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 7 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Lyrical, Vol. 7 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
The Journey - Lyrical | Ages 9-11
A gentle lyrical piece with a relaxed groove, smooth vocals, and a message about appreciating the journey rather than focusing only on the destination. The choreography gives young dancers an opportunity to develop musicality, movement quality, and expressive performance while connecting with an encouraging, age-appropriate theme.
Running time: 2:50
Vision of Hope - Intermediate Lyrical | Ages 12-14
An uplifting ensemble-style song featuring the voices of ten young singers ages 12-16. The message looks toward the next generation with hope for a better future, giving dancers meaningful material for emotional connection and storytelling. The choreography provides intermediate lyrical dancers with a strong balance of technical challenge and expressive movement.
Running time: 2:44
Just for One Day - Advanced Lyrical
A dramatic lyrical piece driven by powerful orchestral accents and a message about courage, curiosity, and embracing new experiences even when they feel uncertain. Originally developed around the idea of carpe diem-“seize the day”-the choreography gives advanced dancers challenging material with opportunities for dynamic movement, musical interpretation, and mature performance quality.
Running time: 3:00

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.
