Low Intermediate Lyrical, Bundle 1 by Darryl Retter
 
Bring structure, musicality, and progressive lyrical training to your classroom with this ready-to-teach collection of five class plans. Low Intermediate Lyrical, Bundle 1 is based on Darryl Retter’s Jazz Technique and gives teachers a clear framework for developing movement quality, coordination, control, and performance skills.
 
Designed for dancers ages 9–11 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 help students build strength and confidence while developing the expressive qualities of lyrical dance.
 
Bundle 1 includes Class Plans 1–5. Enough content for five months of training.
Each class plan includes detailed video demonstrations and teacher notes designed to support consistent instruction and progressive development.
