Why Your Dance Friends Will Be Your Friends For Life
Pati Pakulis Photography

The life of a competitive dancer can be a tiresome one. Long hours at the studio, argues about the correct counts and days worth of convention can lead to a lot of stress amongst the team. However, these stressful times make room for a whole lot of bonding. These moments can even create friendships that last a life time.


1. You're always together.

Dancing 20 hours a week together can really make sure that your team is always together. Being forced to see one another every day will make sure that you guys are best friends. Hundreds of fun and crazy memories are bound to be made!

2. You know all the same music and routines.

"That's our song!" you scream along your friends whenever you hear one of your many competition dances. Dance friends will always be up to pull out routines to the dances they know from the past years and perform them wherever they go. Laughing while dancing is always a good time!

3. You miss out on all the same events.

Whether its competition, convention, or rehearsal, you're missing everything that's happening with "non-dancers" over the weekend. Lucky for you, you have the company of your dance friends, and missing out on these events isn't even a worry anymore. Life is always easier with friends by your side.

4. Nobody else gets it.

The expression you feel on stage, the adrenaline you get as the song begins, the amount of time and effort that goes into each hour of practice. If you're not a dancer, you just don't get it. The only people that can relate to these feelings are your dance friends and because of this, you will always have something to talk about.

5. You have the same goals.

Dancing does more than just give exercise and enjoyment. It teaches you life lessons, lessons only your dance friends will understand. Dance allows a person to develop goals and aim for success. So many skills including time management, responsibility and hard work come out of dancing. These skills allow you and your dance friends to work for the same accomplishments in life and become an amazing person. Heck our dance friends are friends for life because they're the most amazing people you know!


The lessons learned and memories shared will truly last forever. Dance friends are friends for life for these reasons and many more.

With that being said, I would like to thank my own dance friends for being my friends for life. Laura, Laikyn, Jenna, Palmer, Sierra, Bianca, Caroline, Maddie, Claire and Marcus thank you for being my friends for life. Although we don't get to see each other as much as we did while dancing I will always remember the times I have gotten to share with each and every one of you. I know that whenever I see you guys, our undeniable friendship will jump back as if we never left one another. The hours of time we have spent together at the studio have made each year of dancing worth while. You guys have made my dance experience more fun and entertaining than I could ever wish for. With dance I got to express myself as well as make best friends for life. I love you guys!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
