Dancers have some pretty weird habits. Sometimes we don't even realize we do these things. Just know you might be a dancer if you've caught yourself doing these things, especially in public.
2) When you hear music, you start twitch-dancing. It's not pretty, but all dancers are guilty of this. You might be on the bus when a great song comes on when you catch yourself twitching to the rhythm.
3) You daydream about choreography. Either you find yourself thinking about choreography for class, or you start to imagine moves in your head. Then when you go to try the tricks you've made up, you may find out that bodies just don't quite move that way.
4) Whenever you sit on the floor, you end up stretching. It just seems natural to pull your legs into a butterfly stretch or even a full second position. Many dancers like to read or play on their phones while in a full on stretch without ever giving it a second thought. Dancers also never realize how they are so much more flexible than the average population. Reaching our toes is no big deal, but some people lose their minds when they see that we can set our chests completely flat against our legs.
5) You wear spandex shorts under just about every outfit. Dress? Spandex! Skirt? Spandex! Slouchy sweatpants? Spandex! You might be shocked to find out that most people don't consider spandex shorts an option with every outfit.
6) Throw their bodies around with little fear of damage. Dancers are fearless. If your instructor tells you to try a dare-devil move that might hurt a little, you go for it because you know going full out is less likely to hurt than bailing in the middle of it.
