Every community of people has a whole list of things that only they understand. The dance world is no different. If you've been dancing for even half as long as I have (18 years to be exact), you'll know that these #dancerprobs are true.

1. Hallways, store aisles, and any other narrow path are perfect for practicing leaps.

There's nothing more exhilarating than doing a leap combination down the freezer aisle.

2. You can't go anywhere without hearing a song you've danced to.

And you're either way too excited about it or get annoyed because you hate that song now. Which leads me to...

3. NEVER choreograph a dance to a song you like, unless you're prepared to hate it.

Because you will without a doubt want to slam your head against the nearest wall every time you hear it.

4. Clubs and dance floors are just kind of awkward.

First of all, I could whip out some fouettes, but that would be weird, so I'll settle for making a fool of myself with my typical drunk girl dance moves.

5. You don't even notice that you have a bazillion bruises all over your body.

Oh, I have another five bruises on my hip? Probably because I practically throw myself around yet have to look graceful doing it. Yeah, I earned these bruises.

6. Saying, "I'd tap that," and meaning it completely innocently.

The floor. We'd tap that floor. With our tap shoes. Get your mind out of the gutter.

7. You can't be sneaky because every bone in your body cracks.

Sit down. *crack* Stand up. *crack* One step. *crack*

8. You casually find yourself standing in fifth position without even realizing it.

Or first or second or third or fourth. That's just how you naturally stand now.

9. Every time you hear a song, you think of what kind of choreography would go with it.

And then once you figure it out, you can't help but fantasize about performing a dance to said song.

10. Your dance friends aren't just your friends, they're family.

At times, you see them more than even your own family. Talk about #squadgoals.
