Subject: You know that you're a dancer when..... Author: tutuluvr [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:00:59 07/09/02 Tue YOU KNOW YOU'RE A DANCER WHEN... *You stay up for three hours the night before a performance sewing ribbons on pointe shoes. *Being corrected isn't considered an insult *You rant and rave about the joys of stretching yourself out in every direction and your mother wonders where she went wrong. *You learn how to make light of a mistake on stage. *Leotards and tights become more comfy than clothes. *You suddenly have the urge to curtsy instead of saying thank you *Changing costumes in the wings in one minute becomes easy *You're able to untie and retie a pointe shoe in 45 seconds flat *Dancing with blisters becomes the norm. *Listening to Nutcracker music is a curse *You become a master in the field of toe health care *You stand in the lunch line in fourth position *You fall asleep in the splitz because "it's such a comfortable position!" *You're constantly broke because you're destroying pointe shoes at a constant rate of three per month. *You worry more about having water than food *You wonder why the average person goes to touch their toes and can't get past their knees without groaning. *You go to grab something off the floor and your leg shoots up to a perfect penchee. *You forget how to count past 8. *You're able to sew anything in a quick fix. *You think the best cure for a sprained ankle is to dance on it. *You recycle everything fom tights to pointe shoes to leotards *You find that odd things like masking tape and paper towels are more useful than band-aids. *The studio becomes your second home *Your bedroom is clean as a result of never being in it. *Your dancebag is a pigsty as a result of always being in it. *Potentially hazardous sports are off-limits until after Nutcracker season *You hear football players complaining of "turf toe" and laugh at the simplicity of their toe problems. *Karate is a no-no because you find it hard to kick with flexed feet and uneven hips *Instead of jogging, you run turned out and on the ball of your foot. *You're not sure if the mirror has become your friend or your enemy.
