good skating song for a routine where you start and end as a mannequin doll?

Question

anyone know a good song for a skating routine, where a girl starts off as a stiff mannequin doll, then comes to life and skates, then ends the song again as the mannequin?

Answer 1

I'm a Barbie Girl by Aqua comes to mind... It has some suggestive lyrics to keep in mind, but it's a fun, upbeat song

Also, I'm sure you are looking for a contemporary song and one with lyrics for an exhibition piece....but there is a ballet called Coppelia which is about a doll that comes to life. Mirai Nagasu is skating to music from this ballet for her long program this year. Some of that music could work. The audience may not recognize it, but acting out the part and the cheoregraphy is the main thing anyway.

have fun with the program, whatever music you pick!

Answer 2

I've been trying to come up with a good idea for you on this one all night! I thought of all kinds of movies where that may apply, but didn't think they'd be helpful. What about a song you would hear from a music box, the kind with the tiny ballerina in it. Just like when you wind up the music box, the ballerina starts off still and end she stops when the music stops. I think there is an actual song called "Music Box Dancer." I could be wrong.....

Answer 3

Living Doll - Cliff Richard

Answer 4

I would recommend music from the classic Ballet play Coppelia, which incidentally is about an inventor who invents a dancing doll.

Answer 5

have u ever seen the movie chitty-chitty-bang-bang? bout a magic car... anyhow i dont remember the song really but at one part some people pretend to be dolls and come to life and dance...
sorry im not very helpful but if u can find out what that song is when they are dancing it might be a good one to try...?

Answer 6

You could also do a Disney Classic - Pinnochio - and the song would be " I have no strings ". Its really a cute song and you go from being a wooden puppet to a live person back to a wooden puppet again.
