If you dance, you’ve probably had some embarrassing, painful, or otherwise troubling moments in the studio where you’ve wondered if this happens to everyone—enter dancing memes. These dance memes from all over the internet were made by dancers to show their contemporaries that they’re not alone. Here are 15 dancing memes to help you laugh through the tears, or perhaps cry with laughter!
Sneezing While Dancing
Hands up who’s done this. Oh, you can’t raise your arm right now? Put some ice on it. Dancing is all about balance. Seriously, name another sport or activity where a sneeze can cost you this much.
This Meme’s Poppin’
Hold on a moment while we update our dances that have stood the test of time article. Would this line work on you? By line, we mean diatribe.
Dancing for Exposure
You gotta do what you gotta do. How much did you miss dancing during those dark times? We hope you’ve been able to go back to dance school now.
Dancing for exposure is a tricky one. When you’re starting out in any industry, you generally end up doing a certain amount of work for free in order to learn, make contacts, or get ahead. It will depend where you’re at in your career if you are willing to work for exposure.
This article in dance magazine put it best: “The dancers who get the most exposure dance for Beyoncé, yet Beyoncé pays them because landlords don’t take exposure checks. Doing anything for exposure is a lie, because if it’s truly good exposure, it generally means there is a budget, and it won’t be done for free.”
That Was Just a Warm Up?
You’ve got to power through and build that dancer’s stamina. We promise it gets easier. You’ll be sore after, but the endorphins and other chemicals your brain loves will be a wonderful reward. And next time, you won’t find it as hard.

Partner Problems
Have you ever had a partner stress out at you? It happens in a high-pressure situation. It should never look like this.
Myofascial Release
Who knew dance memes could turn violent? Remember those happy brain chemicals we’re always talking about? Dancing is great for the body, the mind, and the soul… just not always at the same time.
Don’t Do It
Who says dancing doesn’t teach you skills to use in real life? It would be something to see. Don’t do it, but we’ve all felt the temptation once or twice, right?
The worst. The worst. Luckily, we know where you can buy the best pointe shoes that will last long after you break them in. Any guesses?
The relationship between a dancer and their pointe shoes is a complicated one. It’s certainly a love/hate thing, with a touch of mentorship.
The Perfect Leotard
Ballet memes get me through the day sometimes. It’s a long search to find the perfect leotard. We have plenty of options for you to try.
Dancewear Shouldn’t Break the Bank
Maybe you can afford it. We founded The Dance Store so that dancers could have the equipment they need to succeed while also having the money they need to survive. Your passion should never become a financial burden.
Bobby Pin
Of all the ballet memes in this article, this got me right in the heart and had me belly laughing all at once. This is what it feels like just before a major performance when everything seems to be falling apart.
