This is our studuis first year of teaching Lyrical and modern to our younger dancers.As the recital approaches we are hitting our heads trying to find "cool" music that is appropiate. Please suggest songs and artist. We have searched the forums and found nothing. PLEASE HELP. iT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Hi! I really good song I want to use is 'Last Day on Earth' by Kate Miller-Heidke... She is from Australia (like me) and it is a very sweet song...

hope that helps...

Miley Cyrus - the climb maybe?
Taylor Swift - You're not sorry There is a remix out there thats cool too.

I'm using Selena Gomez Fly to your heart for a ballet number this year but i saw another post that said they used it for lyrical and it was beautiful. Also Shine by Aly and AJ. And Miley cyrus has quite a few on her Miley meets Hannah set that could work...

I'm don't teach at a Christian school and infact I'm not at all "religious" but I end up using christian artists a lot in my lyrical classes, especially with younger students. I can find music that is positive and age appropriate and not worry.

Check out Rachael Lampa, Meredeth Andrews, Britt Nicole, Matthew West...


Other unrelated artists I like to use for lyrical classes this age:

Erin McCarley, AutoVaughn, Vanessa Carlton, Taylor Swift, Fisher, Kelly Clarkson, Sarah McLachlan, Marie Digby, Howie Day, Colbie Caillat, Ingrid Michaelson, Jack Johnson

My 10 year olds are doing John Mayer- Daughters

The Hand That Gives the Rose by Coles Whalen is pretty.
It's slow enough and simple enough.
