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!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
