The March song
Turn Around, Ballet Dancer
Just like the dancing man in this song, Yuna Mas passes by. Like a street artist practicing her set in a quiet alley. You stop for a moment, watch, and then move on.
“Turn Around (Ballet Dancer)” captures that fleeting moment—witnessing something magical, a glimpse of beauty in the ordinary. A dancer lost in movement, an audience pausing just briefly.
Maybe you’re the observer. Seven songs have been released, each on the seventh of the month. In my dark, quiet alley. A place where you can stop and listen.
Will you stay, or will you move on?

Yuna Mas - 'Turn Around, Ballet Dancer'
Lyrics
I take a shortcut walking home
Then I see this man
He removes his shoes
He’s going to dance
The evening air is warm
He takes off his shirt
His feet feel the ground
For pieces of dirt
Around he scans
Before he starts his dance
Hey turn around
Ballet dancer
I see you
I’m just watching I hope that
(Turn around ballet dancer)
You don’t mind if I do
(Turn around ballet dancer)
He tunes the music in his ears
Focus in his eyes
He begins to move
His arms both rise
The leap that he takes
Superhuman, so high
I don’t hear him land
He runs through the sky
He dives and lands
Face down on both his hands
Turn around ballet dancer
Turn around ballet dancer
Turn around ballet dancer
Hey turn around
Ballet dancer
I see you
I’m just watching I hope that
(Turn around ballet dancer)
You don’t mind if I do
(Turn around ballet dancer)
Hey turn around
Ballet dancer
I see you
I’m just watching I hope that
(Turn around ballet dancer)
You don’t mind if I do
(Turn around ballet dancer)
It’s a full house, he’s on stage
Lights and music are on
He is the star
I am in awe
He sees me now
I smile and I walk home
