10 Signs You Were A Competitive Dancer

If you grew up a competitive dancer then your life was quite a bit different than other kids your age. Your weeks were long with dance practice after school and competitions or rehearsals on the weekends. You put as much time and effort that you could possibly could into your dancing and it consumed almost your entire life but you wouldn't trade it for the world. These are 10 ways you can tell (or even family and friends) that you were or are a competitive dancer.

1. Your body bends in ways that most people don't quite understand

Your dance teacher did tell you that stretching had a purpose and eventually you realized that she was right.

2. You're a pro at putting on fake eyelashes.

I mean you've been wearing them since you were like five.

3. It's not just your team, it's your family.

You spend so much time with these girls, and you rely on each other that it beats just a normal team, it makes everyone into a big family.

4. The Monday after a competition weekend, you were half asleep and still covered in glitter.

Look....I had a competition this past weekend, so just don't ask.

5. Sass, so much sass.

You were sassy, on and off the stage.

6. You rhinestone almost everything.

Jackets, costumes, shoes...everything. Glitter included.

7. You cringe when people call a sock bun a ballet bun.

No....that is not...just no.

8. Dizziness is not a thing for you.

Spotting. It's your best friend.

9. You stretch while doing homework, reading, or watching T.V.

I mean, when else are you going to get that homework done?

10. When your time is done, you wish you could go back and do it again.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
