Okay, I've visited and seen a lot of different dance studios over the years. As you go through the studios, you start to see a trend in the types of people at the studio.
Admit it -- you're at least one or more of these:
1. The Know-It-All
Everyone seems to typically be annoyed with this person, they seriously think they know everything. They always make sure you know when you're doing something wrong -- even when you're actually not.
2. The one with no bones
This person literally defies the laws of anatomy. It seriously seems like they have no bones. Like, seriously, how does your leg go BEHIND your head with no problem?
3. The BFFS/The Dynamic Duo
This first pair is always together and always talking. Quite frustrating really; teachers usually threaten to separate them. The second pair is the two dancers who absolutely kill when dancing together. Don't separate these two -- they were born to dance with each other.
4. The turner
Literally the human top. Usually asks, "Can I fit six pirouettes in the amount of time everyone else does four?"
5. The one that never leaves the studio
GUILTY. Yep. This is totally me. If I could live at the studio, I would. I'm there pretty much 2-9 every night when possible. When I get there the doors are usually locked and I have to call my teacher to let me inside. Yeah, it's kind of annoying. I know.
6. The jumper
It kind of looks like they're on a trampoline but, they aren't. They really just jump that high.
7. The one that's always late
There's always that one person that's late. Maybe it's because they fall asleep and don't wake up in time- which is real annoying -- but sometimes there are just people that are literally just naturally late to everything. It's rare that they're on time and people are pleasantly surprised when they are.
8. The one that's too competitive
Also guilty of this one. This person sees almost everything as a competition. Sometimes this is good, other times it's downright dumb. You can do 6 pirouettes? I'm gonna work all night so that I get seven. That teacher likes you? She's going to like me more. Yeah, okay, it can get annoying.
9. The fashion show dancer
You know the one -- the one that is constantly dressed to impress and you're really not sure why? Everyone is in a tank top and leggings and this girl is decked out head to toe in Jo & Jax or NappyTabs with full makeup and hair. Usually, you're kind of annoyed but kind of intrigued on how they manage to always look so good.
10. The one that asks 9,093,256 questions during class
Sometimes, I understand asking questions. But there's a point where it gets annoying. And I mean, come on, if the teacher says, "Make sure your right arm is connected to your left hand," and 10 seconds later you say, "Where is your right arm?" It's obvious you weren't paying attention.
11. The teacher pleaser
I'm also majorly guilty of this one. This person is a suck up -- but seriously they probably just can't help it. They might not even intentionally be trying to suck up, they just naturally try to make the teachers happy with their performance.
12. The one with the perfect feet
They look like the perfect pair of bananas! No joke. I’m not this one and I hate it.
13. The always sweaty one
Okay, this one I'm also guilty of. It's not like it's preventable -- but these dancers are usually just naturally sweaty and sweat a lot. It just kind of happens. Sorry to anyone that has to dance with us.
14. The always injured one
We threatened to wrap her in bubble wrap. It was a good idea.
15. The one that's always on their phone
It's a 45 minute class, you would think you could survive that long without your phone. But no, these social butterflies need to be connected 24/7 and have a fear of missing something; so they're usually sneaking peeks at their phones.
Go into a dance studio and test this theory. I've never been let down yet! While you're at it, which type of dancer are you?
