You know you are a dancer when ...

• you would rather dance than eat

• instead of walking down a hallway you dance

• you practice grand leaps in parking lots
  

• when doing school work your feet

• are silently practicing a new routine

• a new dance outfit makes your whole day
  

• you cannot sit still when you hear music

• you find you are doing foot movements when talking to others

• you light up when someone mentions dance

• while waiting in line or shopping you tap, shuffle, turn

• others hear noise coming from your feet

• you stretch while watching TV

• you point your toes even while doing sit ups

• you have more blisters than toes on your feet

• every floor is space for practicing

• you have difficulty counting past 8

• when asked to do sit-ups, you respond with "no problem"

• you have boxes filled with old costumes and practice clothing

• when you write dancing first when asked for your hobbies

• while listening to music, you choreograph a routine in your head

• you rate music for its ability to make a good tap, ballet, toe, lyrical, or jazz routine

• you spot mistakes in dance routines

• you become very excited when you see a dancer perform a difficult routine with seeming ease and grace

Fear not mistakes
We just call them variations.
