You Know You're A Dancer When...

~you point your feet in gym, even when doing leg exchanges. Especcially leg exchanges.
~when you want to move fast, well, you could run, but it always comes out step-ball-change, step-ball-change...
~anytime not previously sechduled is time to stretch
~you get mad at cheerleaders- they don't point their feet
~you can do more sit-ups than the jocks
~when everyone else says "ow," you say "but that's so easy!"
~you worship "Center Stage" and Martha Graham religiously
~splits aren't hard, they're a fact of life
~it's hard to count higher than "8"
~you don't worry what you look like in a bathing suit. It's just like your leotard, and you wear that every day.
~Center stage isn't a place, it's home.
~you own hair gel. LOTS of hair gel.
~the top shelf of your closet is filled with discarded dance shoes and leotards
~"do you mean class class or dance class?"
~"what's your studio?" is a conversation starter
~you use the time you're logging on the internet or booting up the computer to practice splits
~you don't understand when people don't know what plies are
~you scare people 'cause you kick so high
~you fight with your life when people diss dance
~"I take karate." "Well, I take dance!"
~cracking your back is fun
~when you hear music, you start counting in series of 8s
~you can whip up a ponytail in 5 seconds flat
~you can't remember a time when your legs didn't ache
~you speak French, yet your language class in school is Spanish
~when the rest of the civilized world is eating dinner, you are beginning warmups and torturing yourself in various ways in dance class
~you hear classical music and you want to dance
~you have like 10 pairs of shoes but none that you could wear to the school dance
~you know what Pilades are
~you know that a shrug is not a gesture, but an article of clothing
~you friends are talking about how they need a new shirt and some mechanical pencils. You are talking about how you need new ballet shoes and a leotard.
~oh, you have a life, all right, it just revolves around studios and stages
~you check your fav dance sites before you check your Email
~you do not threaten to punch ppl, you threaten to kick them...and they get scared!
~you're on this website and you're reading this
