Saw a little girl crying today her exact words while sobbing were “mommy my feet look like potatoes how can I be a ballerina with potato feet” I’ve never related to anything more than I related to her in that moment.

Why do I always do ten perfect pirouettes when no one is watching and fall out of a single pirouette when someone is watching.

Point your toes or go back to baby ballet

I’m back

Who else can relate?

I got hired to choreograph a dance schools end of year showcase and I’m really excited

Train 12 hours a Day, do a 2 hour performance, pilates, yoga, stretching, weight lifting and extra rehearsal time then repeat... are dancers robots or just super-humans?

Do you ever just look at a costume and wonder what on earth the person who selected it was thinking

Friend: Let’s hang out on Thursday Dancer: Sorry I have jazz class Friend: okay how about Friday? Dancer: Sorry I have ballet & tap Friend: Saturday? Dancer: I have pointe & lyrical

If you can’t so much as point your toes, don’t expect to be featured in the group dance.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the dance moms who pay for classes, drive us to rehearsals, help us with stage makeup, clap for us when we’re on stage and support our dancing.
