1. Please don’t make us do a long warm up.
You know that as soon as your teacher hits pause she's going to tell everyone to spread out for a group stretch. But! It won't be a normal one song stretch; it’ll be for like three songs and it'll stretch your body in places that you didn’t even know could be stretched.
2. You’re gonna go over what you taught last week right?
By the end of last week’s class you had the new choreography down, but right now…not so much! Everything that has come and gone through your mind in the last week has completely washed away any inkling of what was taught last class.
3. Okay…so…my body doesn’t move like that.
Your teacher starts teaching a new batch of choreography and just with the first move you know that your arms and/or legs are not going to look like what she just did…ever. But! Like the good student you are, you give it a shot and yes…you look like an idiot.
4. Why did I decide to take this class?
You start to rethink your entire decision to dance. Why do you choose to put yourself through the physical, mental, and emotional pain that being a dancer requires? Oh right…because you couldn’t be any other type of athlete if you tried.
5. I can totally pull this dance off if I just practice more outside of class.
Ha! Like that’s gonna happen…you forget to take a shower at least once a week and you want to try to remember to practice more often. Yea…okay…good try, kid!
