Are all dancers so dumb they can't count right?

Question:They can only count up to 8 and then they start over and then they don't even start over correctly:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-
2-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-
3-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-
4-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-

Get it???
Don't take it too seriously!

Haha. I get it.

WHAT?

Dancers are not really funny it seems.

? that is so stupid.

hahaha...wow...niceee

It's a rhythm thing for me.... and I always start over from one but I can't count past 8 your right there. (JOKE) I can count past eight and most dancers are really smart :)

music notes are measured in counts of 4, so I guess ithas something to do with that, but I get what you're saying, lol!

thats kinda funny... not just dancers use 8 counts.

Lol. We do that in orchestra too.

It keeps you in count of what measure you're in.

lol

this question is a waste of points.. sorry

Yeah, and ballet dancers don't even know to count to three!

We go, first position, second position, fourth position, and fifth position at the barre. Some of those poor girls never learn there should be a third in between the second and fourth. Or second and first...

((Jk, jk, I know there's a third position))

I usually count like that if I'm doing choreography...
But as far as being so dumb that I can't count right, I'm in the top math class you can be in as a freshman, Pre-AP English, Spanish 2 (a year ahead of other freshmen) and I take 10/+ dance classes a week plus rehearsals. I am quite proficient at counting, thank you very much.

hahah there was actually a girl in my dance class a few years ago that couldn't count higher that 8. (We had to do a step that was 12 counts and she kept stopping at 8 lol)

But you really don't realize how many times those numbers run through our heads. We constantly think of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 while dancing, and we dance OFTEN! We have to count each step in order to know when the next step starts, when to end a step. We can be constantly looking at other dancers or the teachers to find out when to do the steps. We have so many confusing moments in dancing (like random pauses and some beats are really messed up that its hard to put counts to it) that those 8 numbers are running through our head constantly. I bet if you danced for 2 hours 5 times a week thinking of those numbers, you would get confused unto what comes after 8 lol.

I'll admit, I never had that happen to me though. I'm usually pretty good when it comes to remembering when to use the 8 numbers and when to keep going onto 9.

*edit*....wait...what are we supposed to be getting? lol
