Should I start street dance?

Question:Okay, a few years back I stopped doing street because my friends quit and I didn't want to go on my own. Now I have the opportunity to go again with a few friends, but I can't decide whether to go or not. I really enjoyed it the first time round, it's just the confidence factor that is stopping me. I think that the people there will be WAY more advanced than I am which makes me think I'll be embarrassed.

What do you think I should do? Any tips on how to build my confidence back up?

Never see yourself lower than others. Confidence is the key to everything! I think you should go ahead and do it! It sounds fun and you will get noticed somehow. And yes, being nervous, embarrassed and all that good stuff happens to everyone! But dont let that push you away from doing something you want to do! Who cares what people think! Its all you girl :)

Well, I totally think that you should street dance again.
I'm a dancer, so I know what you're going through. What you could do is see if there's any beginner's street dancing lessons. They will boost your confidence.
If you don't want to/can't/any other reason do a beginner's class, then you simply have to be confident. If you're not confident, you will do way worse then you would if you are confident. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's really true.
Good luck and have fun!

if u want 2 do it than do it! u'll never get better if you're afraid 2 mess up! nobody will laugh at u. and the only way to get better is to try....to build you confidence back up.............go for it. just have fun. thats the only way. good luck!

absolutely yes. battle your friends and help them teach you some advanced moves. feed off of eachother! watch dancing on youtube or in the streets and practice it. your confidence will come. your probablly better then me!
