DANCER PROBLEMS

Never being able to find jeans because between your butt, legs, and waist you're 3 different sizes

Having dance early on the weekends

Being able to crack every part of your body on command

Having a list of songs you want to dance to

I'm pretty sure my feet get uglier by the minute

I'm really clumsy for a dancer

Talking to non-dancers about your schedule and realizing you never actually leave the studio for anything but school

Quick changes

The struggle of washing off 5 pounds of glitter, hairspray, gel, sweat, and makeup off yourself after competition

Putting a full package of bobby pins in your hair for every performance

I get the worst headaches after competition

Dance Moms is not an accurate portrayal of the dance world

Mentally choreographing dances to every song you hear on the radio

Missing the days when you were little and could bend like a rubber band without even stretching

When non-dancers call leaping "jumping" and turning "spinning"

*takes off pointé shoes* *shakes feet vigorously*

Having a mental checklist of everything you need to think about at barre

"Now do the same thing, but on the left"

Having competitions 2 weekends in a row

Going over choreography in school rather than paying attention
