*Dedication of a Dancer*
*Dedication is waking up at 7:45 on a Saturday morning*
*It's putting on a tank top and shorts even though its December and snowing outside*
*It's arriving at the dance studio and greeting you're friends as if you haven't seen them for months, when it really has only been two days*
*It's smelling the smell only a dancer can smell*
*The smell of old shoes, rosin, and sweat*
*It's starting class and preparing to be sore the next day*
*It's pushing your body so hard that it's literally shaking by the end of warm up*
*It's jumping so high, turning so fast, and trying so hard*
*Its why sweat makes good hairspray*
*Its why when a doctor says stay off of it for a month he really doesnt mean you can't dance on it*
*Its why it's normal to spend 5 hours after school every day at the dance studio*
*Its why if you get hurt and Its why if youre too sick to watch, you still watch*
*It's why you make your parents pay endless fees for tuition, costumes, choreography, competitions, and who knows what else*
*And it's why you have a certain place to put your bag*
*It's why you can whip up a ponytail in 10 seconds flat*
*It's why you can't sleep at night because of the pain from your last class*
*Its also why you cant move the next morning because of the pain from all of your classes from the night before*
*Its why your online screen name somehow incorporates the word DANCE*
*It's why you check your favorite dance sites before you check your email*
*It's why your room is filled with ribbons, trophies and other "dance stuff*"
*It's why you pay someone to put you in total torture multiple times a week*
*It's why you know more French than Spanish when your language class at school is Spanish*
*IT'S SHARING THE BEST PART OF YOU LIFE with guest choreographers and workshop teacher that don't even know you're name*
*It's why you smile when you walk on to the stage with hundreds of people watching*
*It's trying to look as if you can dance effortlessly, even though everybody knows it's impossible*
*It's trying not to cry when you see somebody do more pirouettes than you can do*
*It's falling asleep in the splits, it's 200 sit ups, and it's practicing the same combination to the same song hundreds of times and still trying to improve it*
*It's why you can call the studio your second home*
*Its why your BEST FRIENDS are made at the studio you call a second home*
