The worst thing imaginable about being a dancer.
Once you do this, you will never be able to go back.
It's decision time.
Are you ready?
Dancing is like going to Vegas, for a hot weekend of adventure.
You’ve got your life savings in your pocket, and you’re gonna hit highs that you’re
never gonna get anywhere else.
The only downside?
Your dopamine hits will run out when you stop.
So never quit!
Whereas not dancing, will lead you down the path to a paved road, going to a countryside
home, with a family that doesn’t hate you, and a sustainable lifestyle.
When you think about it, what's really most important here???
*Head nod to pros* Thought so, but just in case you’re not
convinced, I'm gonna break down the pros and cons of dancing.

Lets get on with the video.
The pros.
No one ever wants to talk about the real pros of dance, but lucky for you, I'm not no one.
Here’s the truth.
Starting it off, you will actually be able to dance.
That’s a no brainer.
Remember when you went to your first school dance, and you awkwardly stared at the boys,
or the girls, on the other side of the room?
You’ll always be that person, until you start dancing.
Instead of wiggling to music, like an awkward caterpillar on a leaf, which is probably what
you look like, you’ll learn rhythm and style.
This is how everyone’s dance addiction begins.
You’ll obtain a hot body.
Dance is like combining crossfit and music, except there’s no crossfit, and you won’t
end up with a slipped disc in your hip.
The more you dance, the hotter you’ll become.
It’s science.
Even if you don’t become hotter, at least you'll learn how to fake it, because you’ll
know how to move your body in a sexy way.
Learn how to make friends.
Chances are, you’re an adult because no parents would let their kids watch videos
like this.
Making friends as an adult is way harder than it was when you were much younger.
It’s way easier to make friends in high school when you’re being forced to do something
you don’t want to do, in a room full of other people, who have to do the same thing.
In dance, you are being forced to do something, you actually want to do, in a room full of
other people, who have to do the same thing.
The difference is not really that subtle...
Rockstar adrenaline highs.
If you ever get good enough to perform, then you’re going to achieve the one thing that
you’ve been missing in your life.
Validation...
When you get on that stage and you perform your dance moves for an audience that most
likely knows very little about your dance, then you’re going to find out that they
will celebrate you, like the athlete you always used to never be.
They probably won’t pay you, but hey, validation is its own, temporary, but highly valued,
currency.
Developing a good fashion sense.
Every dancer reaches a point where they stop asking their mom to dress them every morning
and they learn how to dress themselves.
Matching colours and fabrics will become your second nature.
Usually, the more naked you are, the better you look.
Croptops, v necks, leggings, tights, stretchy jeans and slim fit shirts.
You name it, we’ll wear it.
All of these pieces of clothing will become your second nature.
The only time this ever changes is when you become a pro, then it basically looks like
you’re wearing baggy gym clothes 24/7.
And the last best thing about dance, is having lots of cute people to date.
No matter if you’re gay, straight, lesbian or anything else.
You’re going to find a lot more hot people in dance than outside of dance.
Aka people who aren’t pretty, aka the outside world, aka people WHO ARE NOT PRETTY!!!
(I’m still hot though!)
Moving on, let's talk about the cons of dance.
What are you going to get yourself into?
The first con, dance drama.
In the dance world, there’s always some kind of drama going on.
The moment somebody says, or even thinks, something negative about your dancing, you
have full authority to dislike them.
If I share a sweet video of my dancing, and you have the audacity to leave the wrong emoji
on it, then be prepared for someone like me to make a youtube video about you.
I’m kidding though, but I’m not kidding, but I am kidding...
OR AM I???
Kids will destroy your ego.
You will be compared against kids who are 12 years old, but somehow have more than 20
years, of dance training over you.
They were dancing as a zygote, before you even had a chance to start.
Why else can you find asian kids on youtube, doing anything 100x better than you, on literally
any subject matter.
The best thing you can do now, is what I did.
Passive aggressively send your parents messages, for not forcing you to do dance, at 4 years
old.
No social life outside of dance.
You breathe dance, you dream of dance and your identity is dance.
The moment you start dancing, all your friends will become dancers, or else you’ll drop
them like it’s hot.
All your money goes into dancing Dance is an expensive hobby that will bankrupt
you; it’s pretty self explanatory.
You only realistically have three options to fund your dance addiction.
Number one, be born into a wealthy family.
If you screwed up at this crucial step, then you can always go for number two.
Start robbing banks for money.
You see, I wouldn’t recommend this strategy, not because you’re going to end up in jail,
but more importantly, when you go to jail, you won’t be able to dance anymore.
And number three, you can always work as a dance teacher.
Be prepared to receive payment in gummy bears and validation.
The dance hierarchy.
Everybody starts at the bottom of the dance hierarchy, where your status is proportional
to how skilled you are.
The only exception to this is if you're really attractive or rich.
Then people are going to use you.
That’s the game you signed up for, if you use anything else but skill, to become popular
in the dance world.
Enjoy your grueling journey up the ladder.
Trust me, it never ends.
Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY has dated each other in the dance world.
Dance is like an incestuous, high school community.
Everybody worth dating, has dated each other.
And if you haven’t yet, it’s only a matter of time.
You might swear that you’ll never date another dancer, that you’re somehow the chosen one
who’ll be different from the rest of us.
*laughs* That’s a good joke.
But when you meet another dancer with the right kind of body roll, the one where they
have perfect abs like me, then you know, it’s going to happen.
Another con, too many dance shoes.
You’re going to find out that they’ll be stinking up your whole place but you don’t
really want to get rid of them, because hey, they might make good practice shoes later
on.
When you’re deep down the rabbit hole of dance, you’re going to find out that you
can never walk off time again.
Every dancer hates it when you hold hands with somebody, and you walk with them.
But they’re walking on a different rhythm.
Like, how can you expect to ever be soulmates if the person you’re holding hands with,
can’t walk on the same rhythm as you?
My suggestion, dump them immediately.
And for my final point, literally the worst thing about being a dancer.
This is the biggest reason why you should not start dancing.
Once you do this, you will NEVER, be able to go back...
You’ll end up on Tik Tok.
(Terrible video platform).
Tik tok is like the terminal cancer of the dance world.
It boils down all your talent, and hard work, into oddly sexual videos, being done by jailbait
teens.
If you’re not a jail bait teen, then prepare to copy their dance challenges, so that you
can become internet famous, and get a bunch of likes from all of the jail bait teens.
Either way, it’s a lose-lose situation.
Let's see how the pros and cons tally up against each other.
Wow, there are a lot more cons than I thought.
Let me fix this.
As you can see, if I stand right here, the pros of dance, clearly outweigh the cons.
This is nothing else but a 100% transparent comparison.
