19 Things All Dancers Know To Be Too True
Lori Uran

1. "Booty Shorts"

Your go-to piece of clothing for dance class, the piece of black clothing you own the most of, and the one thing that makes everyone stare at you when you go to the store after dance class.

2. Mentally Choreographing Dances In Your Head

We all know we are guilty of this. You know that whenever you're in the car and a song comes on, that you are instantly choreographing a dance in your head. Don't even try to deny it.

3. Bobby Pins For Days

We all know that you will never stop finding bobby pins around the house. No matter how many you lose, you will always find more.

4. Grocery Store Aisles

Yes, we all know that the grocery store aisles are the best place to dance, aside from the studio. You know that security camera has caught you executing an arabesque in the cereal aisle.

5. Kicking Every Piece of Furniture in Your Room

You know that feeling of smashing a toe, finger or knee off a bed, dresser, or night stand while dancing in your room.

6. Using Furniture in the House

We are all guilty of it! Using the chairs, walls, beds and who knows what else to practice those over splits!


7. "I danced to this song once!"

You know you say this whenever practically any song comes on the radio.

8. The Stares After a Recital

We all know that feeling of being stared at in a store or restaurant after our recital with all of our stage makeup on.

9. "You have disgusting feet."

Thank you, I get that all the time.

10. One More Time is Never True

You know when your instructor says "one more time," it always means until you get the dance right.

11. Pirouettes When the Teacher's Looking VS When They Aren't

You know you're going to whip out a perfect triple when the teacher isn't looking, but as soon as they do, you can barely pull out a single turn.

12. UNKNOWN BRUISES!!

When you take your tights off and find bruises and have no idea how they came to be.

13. Toe Cramps

They are the absolute worst, but hey, at least you know you are pointing your feet!

14. Endless Supply of Hairspray

You can never, ever have enough!


15. Icy Hot

Your best friend after a long night of dance.

16. No Walking in the House

You know there's no walking in the house, you are always grand jete-ing down the hallway!

17. The Feeling After Performing

Nothing beats the feeling in your heart after performing on stage.

18. "Sorry I can't, I have to dance."

How many times have you had to tell someone this? 14783928374 times?!

19. Yes, dance is a sport.

Don't even try to argue with me on this one.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
