-You have trouble counting past eight
-You've realized that your closest friends are from your studio, because they just, get it
-Your friend who is fluent in French constantly yells at you for butchering the pronunciation of every French word you know from ballet
-You find yourself wearing warm-up shrugs you bought for dance to school
-You love that you can wear leopard print booty shorts to class and not get weird looks from other people
-You find yourself counting every sound as part of an eight-count, including, but not limited to: footsteps, thuds from basketballs being dribbled at a game your dance team is performing at, the taps from your fingers on your desk, etc.
-Wearing legwarmers never became "so 80s"
-You know what ballerina baldness is
-The desktop picture on your laptop is a shot of the Rockettes kickline or another dance-related image
-You know that Coke isn't just for drinking, and that hairspray has multiple uses
-You spent that Visa gift card from your birthday on new leotards from Discount Dance
-When you see a purse, the first thing that goes through your head is an analysis of whether or not it would work as a dance bag

And my others were taken...great minds think alike.

You know you're a dancer when:

- You call revision rehearsal

- You sign yourself up for every new class possible: even when you know you cant afford them

- You find it impossible to get a job because dance comes first and your hours are squiffy because of it!

Haha I love this thread

-you tap under your seat at school and everyone gets mad because its loud

-you live in a leotard and tights

-your excuse is always, "I can't, I have dance."

-when you stretch at school, people go, "Ew. Thats absolutely disgusting."

-you dance instead of walk

You choreograph dances for fun! (I've got 3 in the making right now)

wow! I wouldn't say that I'm a dancer, just someone who goes to dance class but, some of these really do apply...
for example...
i tend to leap, and work on my turns while waiting for food to cook in the kitcken (the micorwave is REALLY good for spotting!)

~ when you listen to music, you practically can hear your dance instructor calling out the steps (even if you've never used the song in class!)

~ practice pirouettes around your house

~ have dreams about dancing

~ spend time on this site!!

- you get yelled at by your mom to stop danceing around the house nonstop

- you do your recital dance in your head when your bored during school

-You'd much rather spend your day in ballet slippers then high heels

-When your sick and you stay in bed and can't stretch or practice, you start to feel tight in your body.

-You've practiced your dance routine in public and not even given it a second thought

- You have the "dancer crunchies" (What my friend in ballet class class calls the snaps and pops that happen in your joints sometimes. You guys know what I mean!)

(Ukrainian)

- You sit down and everyone stares because your knees cracked so loudly
- you laugh at hockey players when they say they're sore
- you have heated dicussions on weather dancing is a sport oor not
- you start doing warm ups or 1-2-3 when you get nervous



LOL I love the one about being able to dance in front of hundreds of people but getting scared to read something in front of the class! SO TUE!!!

* your family despair at your constant pirouetting round the kitchen
* you don't walk, you dance ( especially round the house)
* your kitchen work surface is a useful barre for tendus whilst talking to your mum!
*all your socks have holes in
*you spend your free's at college watching ballet variations and drive your friends mad!
* your bedroom furniture is arranged for maximum dance space
* you didn't want a desk for the same reason...
* your toes automatically pointe when going downstairs

Somebody says they can't do a bun and you gape and them and immediately pull out your hairpins and show them how.

*your largest monthly expense is dance classes
*every hallway you tend to chasse, step, leap down
*your kitchen counter gets more use as a barre than a place to prep food
