* When you're out shopping and a jam song comes on and you start doing the moves down the Aisles

* When the instructor calls out your name in the class and you bust out your moves

* When the instructor takes their Queue from you

* When you're in a club/pub and a jam track comes on and you and your 'Jam' buddies start doing all the moves

* When you're in the class and someone's invading your 'Personal space' so when it's time to do a 'Step to the left' your step is like, 2 metres wide

* When you can be 'Dramatic' and still look good

* When you think the instructor is a bit of a 'Flower' when they're doing Hip Hop and you show your mate/s how 'Butch' she should be

* When you hear a new song and think "Hmmmm....that would be good with a kick ball change and a mambo"

* When you go to a class and the instructor says "What track do you wanna do?" and you yell out "Track 5, tape 37!!"

* When you go do Jam at one gym then make a quick exit so you can make the next Jam class at another gym

* When you talk to a senior Jam instructor and you say "I see that there is a gap in the timetable....May I should take some of the new people through the hip-hop tracks?" and you can't even dance yourself!

* When you try to attend the instructor only tuitions

* When you hold the finishing pose a little longer than everyone else

* You fly to Auckland specifically to attend the filming of the Jam DVD

* When you do a mistake in class and everybody laughs but you pull it off as if you meant to do it and it still looks good

* When one of the instructors are on the floor up the front and you notice they keep starting on their left foot, instead of their right

* When you've only done the new tape once and you immediately go and show all your mates who haven't done it yet, all the new moves in that tape... (and you recite the music while you're showing them...)

* When you go to a technique class and you're standing with your hands on your hips, polishing your nails coz you think you're all that and don't need the hints

* When you start telling one of the instructors that another jam instructor needs to learn new stuff coz they keep doing the same routine at every class

* When you're actually signed up at one gym (Say, PCF) but go to another gym to do the new stuff before they do the release at your own gym, and your gym buddies think you're neat coz you've picked up the moves on the first hit - But really....If only they knew lol

* When you go up to a fellow class mate after class whom you have never met and say "how did you guys enjoy that.. You really did well to keep up if there is anything I can show you"

* You can practise your spins after class in front of the mirror when everyone is still there

* When you start to dress the same as the instructor

* When you know the "extra moves" that aren't officially part of the routine, like in Usher's "Yeah" you <bend over to the front and touch your toes>.

* When you turn the TV on at work to watch Good Morning to get your Jam fix

* When you spot a fellow but never seen before jammer in a club because you can tell they are doing a modified-club-tight space version of the moves to a song

* Getting frustrated when the DJ plays a remix or different version of a jam song because then you have to improvise.

* Changing outfits for jam after doing another class first

* When you go to Auckland for a Jam class and see all the participants and recognise them because you've seen them on the DVD

* When you go to Bodyworks to check out their "version" of Jam and it's almost exactly the same as Jam, even the moves and the music. And you walk out thinking... "what a rip-off version of Jam?"

* The new release for 44 comes out but you're already scanning YouTube for the new moves to tape 45 and you find it and put it on your bebo page hahaha

* Everyones buzzing over tape 44 but you're already showing them the moves to tape 45

* You ask the instructors if you can borrow their DVD to watch

* You notice all the mistakes in the DVD that the shadowers make

* You complain when you see back up dancers on the DVD's and not actual Jam instructors

* When you're in the Jam class, doing all the moves and you know all the words to the songs as well

* Gandalf emails you his MTV stuff because you are his number 1 body jam fan
