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.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
