As dancers, we all have those moments when we do something different from everyone else. From practicing our dance routines while talking to our friends, to sleeping in passé, we have all been guilty of some dance quirk.

And if you’re too exhausted from dance to think of what to do, we got you covered. We reached out to our dance community and asked them, what do you do after a long day of dance?
