Most people have an idealized picture of what it would be like to date a dancer. They think we are just super flexible, in shape, pretty girls who like to "twirl" around for kicks and giggles.
Well I am sorry but you may be mistaken. You are in for a treat.
If you like a woman who…..
1. Has the nastiest feet in the world covered in blisters and calluses all the time.
2. Sits on the couch in the most awkward positions, usually with one leg up to the side; no grace involved when it comes to comfort.
3. Eats non-stop and is always hungry or doesn't eat at all.
4. Typically smells bad/ is sweaty 97% of the time.
5. Has no desire to shower for days on end.
6. Will likely kick you in the face while you are sleeping and not even notice.
7. Has a terrible sleep schedule and typically performs on holidays such as Christmas & New Years Eve.
8. Has no shame in public if a good song comes on. If there is music, THERE WILL BE DANCING.
9. Has vehement emotions towards songs they have danced to or seen a dance to or choreographed a dance to or wants to choreograph a dance to.
10. Has tights/ fishnets everywhere. And by everywhere I mean on the banister, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, on the bed, flowing out of the drawers, and of course on the floor.
11. Wears tons and tons of makeup on show days, and no makeup at all any other days.
12. Typically drinks a ton of caffeine and/or alcohol.
13. Spends way to much money on some kind of lycra clothing and bras.
14. Drags you to every live production, ballet, and show nearby.
15. Wants to watch, dirty dancing, center stage, singing in the rain, and step up….over…and over…and over.
16. Expects you to be ready to pick her up at any given moment when a lift feels necessary.
17. Thinks she is amazing singer….which she is….. or she is the worst singer in the whole world.
18. Loves to show off her bruises, cuts and scars like a retired vet who is proud of a battle wound.
19. Moves all the furniture to create a space to dance, and typical doesn't put it back.
20. Smells like Tigerbalm or Icyhot at any given time.

This is pretty much what you sign up for when you date a dancer.
It kinda comes with the territory.
Just my personal experience, and opinions. I am sure many dancers will agree.
