8 Things Your Former Dancer Friend Does

Watching a ballet you used to dance in is worse than a boy breaking your heart.

8 Things Your Former Dancer Friend Does

If you've clicked on this article, you probably want to read how true all of these statements are. Having friends that are or used to be dancers can be a good thing, yet annoying.

1. They dance to every song.

Every dancer can dance to any song, slow or fast. We were trained to dance to contemporary or classical music. But hey, friends who dance all the time are the friends you should keep close.

2. They stand in one of the five dance positions when just standing there.

Coming from me, who's life used to revolve around dance, my friends tell me I stand in a weird way all the time. First position. My hips are so used to being turned out during dance class that I'm trained to stand like that all the time.

3. They stretch ALL the time.

Reading a book? Stretching. Laying on the ground? Stretching. Happens all.the.time.

4. They can choreograph a dance in no time.

Being a trained dancer, you learn to hear the tempo and rhythm of a song. With that being said, a dancer can make a dance up in 5 minutes just for fun.

5. They walk on their tippy toes.


From personal experience, I walk on my tippy toes all the time. It feels so much more comfortable and you look taller so why not?

6. They can bend in ungodly ways.

Through barre and floor exercises, our bodies get more and more flexible as time goes on. Basically, a dancer is more limber.

7. They can catch on to a choreographed dance so quickly.

Ever wonder why a dancer catches on so quickly to choreography? Practice. Usually, instructors teach choreography quickly and want to finish a dance. A dancer learns to adapt and learn quickly.

8. They cry when they watch a ballet they used to be in.

I can't tell you how many times I've cried watching the Nutcracker. Watching what I used to do is very hard (worse than a boy breaking my heart tbh). If your friend doesn't cry while watching a ballet they used to be a part of, they didn't like dance that much.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
