Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid

First a note. This dance is very simple and involves a lot of repetition. If you like The Little Mermaid, but are a more advanced dancer, please check out the dance I created for Part of Your World. I would say that this dance would suit more 4-6 year olds. Thank you!

Popular from Wicked

Here is first a note. This is danced by one person, but in order for the song to make sense, there must be another person there as a "prop." Speaking of which, you will also need a chair, a hair brush, and a mirror. I also suggest you see the play. Not that it has anything to do with the choreography of the dance, it is just a really good play. If you have not seen the play or heard the music, I must tell you that it should be danced by two girls, so boys, you are out of luck! Of course, a boy could dance the part of Galinda, but the words really wouldn't make sense if the played Elphaba.

GLINDA:
Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!-Seats Elphaba
ELPHABA:
you really don't have to do that...
GALINDA:

and when someone needs a makeover,-step down into pas de bourree
i simply have to take over!-throw hands up
i know i know exactly what they need!-step forward, circle arms down to low 5^th  
and even in your case,-step forward, close sharp on “case”
though it's the toughest case I've yet to face,-nod on accents
don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!-coupe front leg, move back into quaze
follow my lead,-close, circle down to low 5^th  
and yes indeed, you will be...-coupe up, and back, and back, and back, finish in 5^th

Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson

La la la la la la…-balance 6 times

Grew up in a small town-draw back leg up to passé
And when the rain would fall down-extend to arabesque
I'd just stare out my window-brush leg forward, turn
Dreaming of what could be-pas de bourree left
And if I'd end up happy-pas de bourree right
I would pray-tendue and rond de jambe

Trying hard to reach out- draw back leg up to passé
But when I tried to speak out- extend to arabesque
Felt like no one could hear me- develope front and place in 5^th
Wanted to belong here- pas de bourree left
But something felt so wrong here- pas de bourree right
So I prayed I could break away- tendue and rond de jambe, tendue and rond de jambe

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly-outstretch arms, draw up to passé, bring leg down while turning

I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky-pas de bourree then rond de jambe front leg back
And I'll make a wish-balance once
Take a chance-balance once
Make a change-balance once
And breakaway-draw back leg up to passé and extend to arabesque
Out of the darkness and into the sun-rond de jambe in air back to 5^th
But I won't forget all the ones that I love-pas de bourree
I'll take a risk-balance once
Take a chance-balance once
Make a change-balance once
And breakaway-draw back leg up to passé and extend to arabesque

la la la la la …-- balance 3 times

Wanna feel the warm breeze- draw back leg up to passé
Sleep under a palm tree-extend to arabesque
Feel the rush of the ocean-brush leg forward, turn
Get onboard a fast train-pas de basque
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)-pas de basque then rond de jambe to 5^th
And breakaway-draw back leg up to passé and extend to arabesque

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors-turn quickly
Swinging around revolving doors-turn quickly in opposite direction
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but-pas de basque then pas de cheval up and close
Gotta keep moving on, moving on-turn once in each direction
Fly away, breakaway-pas de basque then pas de cheval up and close

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly- outstretch arms, draw up to passé, bring leg down while turning
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye- pas de bourree then rond de jambe front leg back
I gotta take a risk- balance once
Take a chance- balance once
Make a change- balance once
And breakaway- draw back leg up to passé and extend to arabesque
Out of the darkness and into the sun- rond de jambe in air back to 5^th
But I won't forget the place I come from- pas de bourree
I gotta take a risk- balance once
Take a chance- balance once
Make a change- balance once
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway-turn, pas de cheval off
