why you must date dancers.

They are dancers.
They partake in monthly fasting ritual and weekly Pilates penitence. They belong to the only cult that requires a two-minute audition. But they are fun to date. Men: to those of you used to down-home girls, dancers are probably pretty intimidating. They're skinny enough to slip through jail bars, and have enough attitude to hold off a drunk KA.
They are, quite simply, divas. What is this strange and new concept, you ask? Diva is that almost permanent air around dancers that says, "My mind and body work in perfect unison. I am walking art. Who are you?" Gentleman, this is why you want them. Yes, their legs can break you in half; yes, their dress style is best described as "neo-retro 60s funk something-or-another," but they make you have a good time, whether you want it or not. Think of dancers not as skinny, but svelte, not as muscular, but firm. They're not fashion victims, they're fashion assassins. Get them to take their hair out of that omnipresent bun and they're curious as kittens, hot as napalm, and subtle as a shotgun blast. Plus, come weigh-ins, you'll save a lot on eating out. Dancers are interesting.
On stage they embody grace, but everywhere else they walk into table corners. In class they do demi pliés, but at clubs they're full-on grind. They're portraits of concentration at one kind of barre, and the last ones to sober one another. And if you play a good song they, well, they bob. While everyone takes off nice clothes and puts on sweats at the end of the day, dancers do the exact opposite.
If you don't pay attention to them, they tap. They can tell you exactly how many calories are in a Big Mac. And they'll eat it anyway. They're divas.
Which means they dream, and they dream big. You have to understand that most people don't dream the way a dancer does. There are three kinds of dreams in this world: the comfortable, the successful, and the dancer. Comfortable dreams mean nice family, nice car, and secure job. Successful dreams mean wealthy and well known. This could apply to the arts as well as lawyers -- photographers, writers, actors, and artists can all be rich in their lifetimes, even if it never was the goal.
But not the dancer. The most famous dancers never get rich. And they are almost never famous outside their field. No, a dancer might dream to see her name in lights, and mean it. She might want to be the object of thunderous ovations night after night, and mean it. But all she really dreams is to make someone else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer. And they want to do it over and over.
And that is so, so beautiful.
