CONTEMPORARY DANCE
The application of one of the modern-contemporary techniques is characterized by a special way of presentation and a novel way of expression.

Its visual world can be thought-provoking, astonishing, or grotesque. Set can be used for choreographies if justified.
LYRICAL (LYRICAL)
Dance is technically almost the same as contemporary dance. This includes choreographies based on the Art Jazz technique. In lyrical dance, one or more people (lyrical selves) speak directly, usually in the first person of a certain number. In such cases, the utterance of the original music does not necessarily sound, as the "lyrical self" is a fiction. The object of the choreography is the dancer's own inner world, he explores his emotions, moods, experiences, thoughts and experiences. The focus of the representation, then, is on the lyrical self, itself, the personality (the “poetic self”). Therefore, in lyrical dances, the artist's statement is more direct, more personal (subjective) than in multi-act works, the performer reinforces the personal emotions and individual opinions about the things in the world he depicts. Lyrical works are written in a fundamentally, but not exclusively, descriptive form. In addition to the content elements, the structural solutions, the means of expression, the elements of style, the poetic images, the forms and the means of music are especially important in lyrical dance.
The content and strength (intensity) of emotions distinguishes:
the lyric of mood, characterized by intimate speech, increased musicality, and minimal emotional temperature, and the emotional lyric, in which emotions are more definite, conscious, and · the lyric of thought, in which the element of thought, thoughtfulness, is dominant. The core of thought, the philosophical utterance, also becomes a personal experience, which the lyrical self presents in a poetic way.

Choreographies inspired by today's fashionable modern musical pieces, but musically and movingly different from the atmosphere, technique and performance of the classical pieces, should not start in this category, but in the category corresponding to the dance technique used (eg stage dance, etc.). Use of sets and accessories is recommended but not required.

We do not restrict creative freedom, but the age and technical knowledge of the competitor must be taken into account when compiling the competition, especially for the acrobatic elements.
As part of the production, the knowledge of the dancers is equally important, as is the artistic impact of the choreography. Some dance style can be used, but it should fit harmoniously with the music and the message of the production. In the evaluation, the technical knowledge of the competitors and its execution are the authoritative, but as a stage production, the radiance, the artistic effect, the originality and uniformity of the choreography, as well as the topic and style appropriate to the age group are essential.
