Laenne Leaffall

Laenne's singing debut

Music found here.

Laenne walks out onto the stage carrying a small music player and she is wearing a leotard and short skirt both in a pastel teal color with a multitude of different colored ribbons that are wrapped around her waist.  The pointe shoes she has on would mirror the ribbons she had around her waist and the satin almost seems to glow with every different color of the rainbow in pastel tones to match her leotard. Setting the music player down next to the wall she presses play and slowly walks back to the middle of the stage and has a seat on the ground, angling up her leg so her knee is pointing up towards the ceiling while pointing her toe of her shoe on the ground. Laying her head down onto her leg as her hand rests over her waist she grasps onto one of the ribbons around her waist and awaits for the music to start.

Upon hearing the first chord from the guitar Laenne pushes herself up and lifting her leg off the ground and rising onto her toe shoe  and pulls out the first of the ribbons from around her waist. Walking along on the tips of her shoes she flutters the red ribbon around her body and spinning around to wrap the ribbon around herself before the ribbon turns to a black color while she shrinking down  to the ground as the song spoke of being small.

Stepping out on pointed toes they landed softly on the floor and with each step she would pull out another ribbon from her makeshift belt and twirl them around herself slowly before spinning around and wrapping them around her body. Then from under the ribbons her own voice comes out in harmony with male singing, “I last saw you laughing.” and the ribbons start to slide from off of her body, leaving a trail of glitter in each of the colors of the rainbow over her outfit.

A look of fear comes over as she took the next few steps before quickly changing to a smile. Grasping  onto the very ends of the ribbons she takes a few running steps from the back side of the stage and leaps  into the air with her legs spread out into the splits in mid air.  She holds her arms to the sides with the ribbons fluttering out behind them and glides through the air and lands just before where the crowd is gathered and continues with  the soft harmony backing up the male’s singing on the recording, “call me up and I will always be there”

Swirling the ribbons around and shifting the majority of them to one hand leaving as she rises to her toe but leaves the red one out and flicking her wrist to form it into a heart. Extending her leg slowly as she rises up onto the point of her shoe Leanne whips her leg around sending her spinning in a tight circle and swirling the ribbons around, and her voice rings out  “So don’t be afraid to let them show your true colors your true colors are beautiful.”

Obviously getting more and more confident in her singing she walks out into the audience and smiles to those gathered. Heading over to Romena and sliding the ribbons across her shoulders, it leaves a trail of glitter over the girl’s skin and smiling to her softly.

Then she pirouettes  around while taking large steps and continuing to sing out, “True colors” she harmonized with the recording  and smiling at andi  as she slides the ribbons  over her then spins around several times over to Raiya and smiles at her, flicking her wrist the red ribbon forms a heart shape and she hands it to her smiling to Raiya she sings to her “and that’s why I love you.” Giving her a wink she walks on past she pulls out another red ribbon from her waist to replace the other, “So don’t be afraid to let them show”

“True colors are beautiful”  She sung out again as she danced around the crowd, the ribbons flying out behind her , leaving holographic streaks behind them  for a few moments and disappearing as she returns to the stage she spins herself in a tight circle during the descending notes she sings and slows to a stop, facing the audience and forming the ribbons into a rainbow as she sings,  “Ooooh Oooh Ooh like a rainbow.”

Remaining up on her toes, Laenne pulls out the yellow ribbon and whips it into a circle as a laughing face shines in the middle of it, “I last saw you laughing”  she sings. Bounding out to one of the crowd members she lays her hand on their temple,  “This world makes you crazy, and when you’ve taken all you can bear.  Just call me up cause I will always be there.”

Continuing with the sweeping motions as she returned to the stage the flowing ribbons fanned out in front of her while she makes a figure eight in front of her body, then magically they braided themselves together before she has a seat on the lowest stair, singing the last few words of the song, “Show your true colors, true colors are beautiful (like a rainbow) Oooh Oooh ooh Like a rainbow.”  then as the music comes to a close she  hands the rainbow woven ribbons to who is sitting just in front of her.
