...you might be a dance major.

My brain is overflowing (even more than usual) with dancing. As I prepare to teach dance full-time in the Fall, I am constantly thinking about important information I want to share with my students, dances I want to do, music I want to use, and techniques I want to teach. In this constant state of brainstorming anything and everything dance. I remembered a list that I wrote my last semester of college (feels so weird to put college in past-tense) that illustrated what life was like as a dance major. I am now learning that was only the beginning...

1) If you realize that Sunday was the only day you wore something other than sweat pants...
2) If you use a leotard as a back-up when you can't find your bathing suit...
3) If you get hungry every two hours...
4) If you know the meaning of RICE, and you do it at least once a week...
5) If work and play have the same description (dancing)...
6) If you always have a stick of deodorant in your back-pack...
7) If the lady giving you a pedicure rolls her eyes before getting to work...
8) If you wear your hair up every single day...
9) If you are always the first on the dance floor at a wedding or party...
10) If you change your clothes in front of people without thinking twice...
11) If your professor has ever kicked you in the face...
12) If you get cascades of compliments on your appearance whenever you shower, put on make-up, do your hair, or wear jeans...

...you might be a dance major.

And you wouldn't have it any other way.
