Here are 17 within a never-ending list of lol-worthy moments that I've experienced or witnessed. Enjoy!

Awkward Dance Moment 1. "Meeting" A Dancer For The "First" Time

When you're taking a class around someone whom you may or may not have met before, and you debate for the entire duration of it, "What was their name? Where did I meet them? Do they even remember me?" ...as the other person is thinking the exact. same. thing. UNTIL the traditional post-class pow-wow pods when you somehow end up in the same group of friends and do the whole "You're-- Do you remem-- Yeah! Omg, hiii!" And you can both finally unclench your butts. New Instagram buddies!

Awkward Dance Moment 2. Teamcest.

Sexual tension within teams. Don't even gotta say nothin' here.

Awkward Dance Moment 3. Faux-reographing

When you choreograph a perfectly satisfactory few 8 counts while driving, or just in your head, but when you try it out IRL... What, I don't have 3 legs? My elbow can't reach my eyeball? My hips can't physically do that thing?? Brains are funny things that make you believe you are an amorphic rubber band with super-speed and flexibility. These pieces end up being very good... in your head.

Awkward Dance Moment 4. Check Your Lines

For girls- PANTYLINES, which are inevitable because a) who wears sweats anymore? Legging lyfe. b) thongs are so uncomfortable. Let's be real, there's a lot goin' on in class already & you don't want to deal with a continual wedgie. Or do you.

*** WHEN THE CHOREOGRAPHER IS PICKING A "SELECT" GROUP AND THEY WALK AROUND THE ROOM LOOKING AT ALL THE DANCERS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU BECOME THE MOST AWKWARD HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET? WHERE DO MY EYES LOOK? DO I LOOK EAGER IF I STAND? WHAT IF THEY DON'T SEE ME??? I JUST FORGOT THE PIECE, WHAT WAS THE FIRST MOVE EVEN. WHO AM I AND WHAT IS LIFE????????

Awkward Dance Moment 10. Family Bonding
