5 Thoughts Every Dancer Has At Practice
Gabrielle Alfaro

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!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
