You Know You're a Dancer When... *dance is life and the rest is just spare time *your body cracks loud enough to stop class *you dance down the hallway instead of just walking *when you're at the mall you hear you're dance song and start dancing *you do tendus while waiting in line *you do grande jetes in the parking lot and down the hallway *you are well coordinated in dance class but trip over your own feet just walking *a new leotard makes your whole day *you walk with your feet turned out without even thinking about it *you use every handrail you see for practing *you actually sit up straight in your chair at school *you actually dream of wearing those heavy, expensive, netting-ridden tutus *you not only dance everyday, but also every night in your dreams *you know more French terms than the kids in the french class *you are stretching for gym and everyone goes, "WHOA!!" *your vocabulary includes bandaids, wedgies, sweat, determination, and guts *you know most barres aren't in jails *you have the ability to balance your body on five toes, yet cannot bend over to pick the clothes up off the floor of your room *you know the frog isnt an animal, but a stretch *you have an entire drawer devoted to your dance stuff *everything you do has to do with dance *you suddenly can't count past 8 *Before everything you do you say 5,6,7,8 *You laugh at a non-dancer when they say their feet hurt *you can talk about ballet all day long to people that dont care *you stand in pointe in your shoes when talking to friends *You get disgusted when you see cheerleaders because they never pointe their toes *instead of calling rooms "rooms" you call them "studios" *When you go to get your hair cut you tell them to cut it long enough to be able to put it in a bun *when you refer to half time of a football game as "intermission" *All your friends make fun of you cuz you always either stand in 1st, 2nd or 5th position *Every song that come on on the radio you know a combo to *You noticed every mistake made on any dance movie or TV show *You have fallen asleep in the splits/straddles
