As if spending late nights in the studio and traveling on the weekends wasn’t enough, being a dancer is simply a lifestyle no matter your age. You have been fortunate enough to spend a good portion of your life learning a plethora of tips and tricks that will last forever making those “I can’t I have dance” nights all worth it. Read on to see the top 12 things you would only know from growing up as a dancer.
