(Provide a link to the article here.) Lyrical dance

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article to evaluate because I am a Dance major and one of my favorite styles of dance is Lyrical. I think this article matters because people who are non-dancers, most likely don't know what lyrical dance is and it could get confused with other styles of dance. This article could give valuable information on the style to those who don't know much about it or who want to know more. My first impression was that it looked short and that there wasn't a lot of information.

The article has a good lead section that introduces the topic of the article and gives a brief definition/description of lyrical dance. It has content that is relevant to the topic, has content that is up to date, and has no content that does not belong. The article is from a neutral point of view and has no opinion-based statements. There are also multiple representations on different viewpoints on the origin of Lyrical dance. Article has multiple sources that mostly work; there are 2 that do not work and 1 that seems to be an unreliable website. 4 of the sources are books/magazines so they do not have links. Article is easy to read, organized and includes no images. The talk page has only one comment of a user informing other editors that they have made an edit to two of the links (the two that do not work). Overall the article is pretty good; it could use a little bit more information about the topic.
