For those of you who don't know, this is Ally_Os' mule.
You know you're a dancer when...
~You dream of wearing shoes that give you blisters and sores
~You actaully DREAM of wearing those heavy, expensive, netting-ridden tutus
~You own more dance shoes than other shoes
~You stretch infront of the TV rather than relax
~When people do the splits you're not shocked
~You have a load of make-up yet you wear none to school
~You laugh at non-dancers when they complain about their feet
~You can't remember when you didn't have calluses on your feet
~You point you toes even during sit ups
~"Practice makes perfect" isn't just a saying, but a way of life
~You perform calmly before crowds yet suffer anxiety during school tests
~Every hard floor is like a place for practicing
~You walk with your feet turned out unconciously
~You know the frog isnt an animal, but a stretch
~You have an entire drawer devoted to your dance stuff
Dance Quotes

"Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another"
"Dance is a delicate balance between perfection and beauty"
"Quitters never win and winners never quit"
"Life is a dance, from one stage to the next."
