ANSWERS
Mostly A’s: Nina from
Black Swan
No doubt about it, dance is your life. Like Nina, you’re super-serious about succeeding. You put 100 percent into every class, every rehearsal, every performance. While your dedication helps you progress, remember that it’s not good to put too much pressure on yourself. (Life’s short—just ask Nina!) Don’t forget to let loose once in a while and enjoy life. Your dancing will thank you for it!
Mostly B’s: Sara from
Save the Last Dance
From ballet to hip hop, you’re down with all kinds of dance, just like Sara. Though performing is definitely your first love, your crush probably isn’t far behind. Your caring, loyal nature draws others to you and makes them want to support you. You believe in others, but you also believe in yourself—a quality that will help you achieve whatever you set your mind to. And with all of your talents, that could be anything from dancing backup for Rihanna to performing with American Ballet Theatre.
Mostly C’s: Eva from
Center Stage
Your name should be next to “feisty” in the dictionary. Just like Eva, you’re not afraid to tell it like it is. Your personality is larger than life and—big shocker—you love to be the center of attention. And that’s often the case, because you shine when you perform, whether you’re tearing up the dance floor at a club or nailing a difficult pas de deux. Just remember that big talent doesn’t have to come with a big ego. A dose of humility will help you soar even higher.
Mostly D’s: Natalie from
Step Up 3D
You feel most alive when you’re battling it out on the dance floor with your crew. You and Natalie are both fiercely competitive and, as diehard B-girls, you’ll both do whatever it takes to bring home a win. Sometimes you feel torn between all of your commitments. But don’t worry—you’ll find a way to make it work. After all, with your boundless energy and determination, it’s hard to hold you down once you put on those dancing shoes!
