I know the scientific names of beings animalcules;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern major general!"

Dance major syndrome is a fictional disease that is carried by people who pick dance as their “major” at school. This was started at a performing arts school called “MD Robert’s school of the Arts” and “Stilwell school of the arts” At these schools you can pick majors such as Theater, Band, Dance, etc. But it is commonly known amongst dance majors that they walk around the school thinking they are the shit. They will go from being your friend to thinking you are weird. Symptoms of dance major syndrome are posting stop motions with other dance majors, going to skate zone, being in dance (yes this is a symptom), talking to you less and less, and more. If you know someone with dance major syndrome it may not be too late to help. You can try to put some “silly” back in them. This means you can make them a little weird again or you could try humbling them, but just remember it might be too late and it may have already taken over the body.
“Bro I remember when Sally used to hang out with us” “yeah we used to be really good friends. What happened?” “Dance major syndrome bro. Dance major syndrome.”
