Why I can no longer wear dangly earrings to dance...

Not because they wack me in the face when I jump or spin...Okay, well, they do, but that doesn't really bug me.
To explain, I will start my story from the beginning. Today I wore these earrings to my ballet class:



Cute little hearts just in time for Valentines Day! Plus they look like cinnamon hearts, something I've been eating a ton of lately...But I'll save that ramble for another post.
Anyway, my ballet teacher started told me to relax my shoulders a couple times. This in itself is not an unusual critique for me, I'm rather tense through the upper body, but normally it's something that my Highland or piano teacher would say to me more than he would.
Eventually he says that he was able to tell that my shoulders were up because my earrings gave a measurement from the bottom to my shoulder and he could see if one was higher than the other! *facepalm* That guy notices everything!
So, yes. I can assure you that I will be wearing studs to tomorrow's class. :D
