8 Things Your Former Dancer Friend Does

Watching a ballet you used to dance in is worse than a boy breaking your heart.

8 Things Your Former Dancer Friend Does

If you've clicked on this article, you probably want to read how true all of these statements are. Having friends that are or used to be dancers can be a good thing, yet annoying.

1. They dance to every song.

Every dancer can dance to any song, slow or fast. We were trained to dance to contemporary or classical music. But hey, friends who dance all the time are the friends you should keep close.

2. They stand in one of the five dance positions when just standing there.

Coming from me, who's life used to revolve around dance, my friends tell me I stand in a weird way all the time. First position. My hips are so used to being turned out during dance class that I'm trained to stand like that all the time.

3. They stretch ALL the time.

Reading a book? Stretching. Laying on the ground? Stretching. Happens all.the.time.

4. They can choreograph a dance in no time.

Being a trained dancer, you learn to hear the tempo and rhythm of a song. With that being said, a dancer can make a dance up in 5 minutes just for fun.

5. They walk on their tippy toes.


From personal experience, I walk on my tippy toes all the time. It feels so much more comfortable and you look taller so why not?

6. They can bend in ungodly ways.

Through barre and floor exercises, our bodies get more and more flexible as time goes on. Basically, a dancer is more limber.

7. They can catch on to a choreographed dance so quickly.

Ever wonder why a dancer catches on so quickly to choreography? Practice. Usually, instructors teach choreography quickly and want to finish a dance. A dancer learns to adapt and learn quickly.

8. They cry when they watch a ballet they used to be in.

I can't tell you how many times I've cried watching the Nutcracker. Watching what I used to do is very hard (worse than a boy breaking my heart tbh). If your friend doesn't cry while watching a ballet they used to be a part of, they didn't like dance that much.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
