Welcome!

Ok, so here is how this blog will work. I will put out ballet dances from time to time for anybody to look at and learn. Most of the dances are easy or intermediate, but you can tell by looking at the bottom of the post. Also, most of the dances are good for either girls or boys to perform, but I am a girl, so there may be slightly more that are geared towards girls. A lot of them are solos, but I might put duets in there every once in a while. I really hope you enjoy this blog and I hope that it helps you grow as a ballet dancer!

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 5th
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 5th
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 5th
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 5th
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
