There's taking hip hop classes and enjoying dancing (which is perfect if you're looking for recreational dance), and then there's being a true-blue-to-the-bone-live-it-feel-it female hip hop dancer.
If you're a female hip hop dancer you...
1. Have a weakness for shoes. This is one is non-negotiable. Something about boots, sneaks, kicks, heels, pumps, wedges, flip flops, gladiators, tennis, stilettos, dance shoes, gym shoes, beach shoes, traveling shoes, and flats draws you in! (My shoe addiction isn't something I'm proud of, but I do really really love shoes...)
2. Love all kinds of music.
3. Can't ever decide whether to wear your hair up or down in class. Up is out of the way (convenient), down looks sick when you whip it around (but not convenient).
4. Care for the well-being of others. HH creates a family feeling among dancers; just something about it.
5. Can somehow make ridiculously baggy sweat pants not only look ADORABLE, but totally feminine without trying. LADIES - YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING. Quintessential girl look: Ugg boots (no matter how hot it gets), majorly huge cotton sweats, booty shorts or really cute full coverage undies underneath, but you have to sag the pant a little bit to show the top lining of course...baggy tee/tanks/whatever kind of shirt. If you're in class, the Ugg boots can be swapped out for some kicks or high tops.
6. Eat inconceivable amounts of food because you dance so much, and need the cals.
7. Love watching other (good) hip hop dances/dancers.
8. Love dressing up when you go out - this doesn't mean fancy, but it at least means cute and feminine. Ladies HH dancers can look ghetto and all in class, but we love to make it up during the rest of the week. You can pull off the best of both worlds!
9. Have a taste for mixing music.
10. Live out of your car in a sense - between work, class, gym, friends, family, life and getting stuff done, you have to keep so much "stuff" in your car that sometimes you feel like you're living out of it.
soo this is pretty much truuue :)
