Hey! dancers! please answer this question! if you're serious about dance you'll...

...answer this question.? does anyone else understand what it takes to be a real dancer?

a bunch of people from my school dance at amature places like (sorry to affend you) class act and dance connection. (please no hate comments, just hear me out here.) and they say, my life is dance. i love dance. and they may, its not my life. and by the way, i'm not saying just because they go there they can't dance, i'm just making a example, i'm sure lots of you out there can dance great and go to those places, but most the time people arnn't verry serious when they go there. please just help me, that sounded meaner than i entended...

my best friend who dances once a week hip hop at dance connection. (and by the way i dance ballet 4 nights a week at a dance acadamy since i was 5 and i love dance with all of my heart and i intend to spend my life dancing. and again! i am not trying to sound stuck up, i'm just avoiding people saying, "well what makes you better" i'm not showing off i'm just explaining my experience in comparison and besides, people have commented previously well so what i do this and that and that makes you stuck up too. ok, now that were all on the same page...) my best friend wanted to enter a dance contest. i said dance freestyle while i sing, then we'll switch. we can coriagraph it later. she couldn't even do it... and shes the one who takes hip hop. she said you do it. i said i don't even dance hip hop. and then, i know i am a true dancer because i was not only making up moves as a go, bt i was putting them all together. and same with ballet, i don't make up moves, you can't really, but i can freestyle for as long as i would want to, and that makes a true dancer, am i right? the reason i can do that and make up moves is because all dance evolved off of ballet.

and people who aren't trrue dancers, no matter where they go, only know to do the dance there taught, am i right?

what i am trying to say is, what can i say to prove that? for a while my motto was

it takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer.

no one even got the phrase! and whoever did, was like, yeah. i'm a dancer.

even if you don't give me a phrase or anything, just share your feelings about this. i really just wanna know i'm not alone on this.

also.

do you agree in ballet, that it should count more for doing one simple move perfectly and elegantly than just pulliing off amazing moves like crap? what can i do to get ppl to see that? i get made fun of by ppl who see me dance cuz they say, wow. you should stop making that easyness such a big deal cuz i could do that. they could not! ballet takes amazing core muscles and perseverence. help!


please be mature?
 
Ok first off you do sound sorta stuck up because you keep saying your not. sorry just telling you my honest opinion. Second, just because your friend couldnt make stuff up off the top of her head and put it together doesnt mean she sucks or anything, ive been dancing for 12 years adn i cant do that i just cant make stuff up that looks good, so when we dance together my friend makes up the dance. i really didnt read anything else because it was too long and rambling and i didnt really understand what you were saying anyway and i hope thats what you meant in your first part but im really not sure so whatever, just my opinion.
and the last statement which i just read....never mind i dont understand, but yeah i know most people cant do ballet and they think it looks easy because thats what we do we make it look easy thats the job of the performer.
