If you have a background of dancing, it is probably super likely that you still experience those "dance habits" from being a serious dancer for so many years. There are just certain things that never really go away after being in the studio for so long. If you used to be a dancer, you will probably be able to relate to all of these...maybe more.
1. Seeing somebody else hit the splits and thinking "I can do that" before forgetting that you haven't stretched in months and nearly pull a hamstring.
2. An empty open hallway always gives you the sudden urge to do a leap through it.
3. Certain songs that you danced to will always remind you of the good ol' days when you performed it.
4. You still find it extremely entertaining to sit and watch dance videos on YouTube for hours.
5. Sickled feet and bad form still make you cringe.
6. You still have over 100 costumes stuffed in the back of your closet.
7. Same goes for leotards, tights and shoes because even though you really don't need them anymore, you just can't seem to give them up.
8. Hardwood floors and a lot of space is a good reason to try a fouette turn.
9. You still find yourself pointing your feet when you lift your leg.
10. You still count in eight counts. It just makes more sense that way.
11. Telling people you used to be a dancer and they expect you to bust a move right then and there when in reality technique and choreographed dancing is so much different than free-styling it.
