Did you grow up practically living in your dance studio? Hours of blood, sweat, and tears put in everyday for that one fleeting moment under the flashing lights. Ask any dancer, none of us would trade any of that for the world. Here are 15 ways to tell that you grew up as a competition dancer!
1. You own a dream duffel.
Probably in hot pink.
2. You only know how to do stage makeup
Trying to do regular makeup is a real struggle.
3. You looked forward to 3 day competitions so you could miss school Friday.
But explaining to the teachers you are leaving school early for a dance competition never went over well.

Yet would never choose to wear them on a regular basis.

Always to the Dance Gods for pointed feet and straight knees.

Arrive at the studio in the dark morning, leave when in the dark night.

Give me 20 seconds.
13. You practically live at your dance studio.
Always walking in with your backpack, lunchbox, dance bag, school textbook, and don’t forget the coffee.
