Personal Statement - part time job?

I'm writing my personal statement at the moment, and saying about how I've worked part time in a health food shop during my gap year...I'm not really sure what to say about it though? Like skills it has taught me and things like that? I'm applying for dance by the way. Thanks!

When I realised the skills I got from my part time job, I realised they were lame. So I ommited my part time job altogether to make room for more academic related stuff

If you're applying for dance though, things you've learnt about teamwork, organisation, nutrition and dealing with stress/annoying people will probably be very useful. Just try and relate it to dancing. So "In my job in a health food shop I have been able to learn about nutrition and a balanced diet, as well as expanding my teamwork skills in a way that would ultimately make me a more productive member of a dance company." Or something slightly less bull****ty.
