You will become more healthy. When i started running i was just found that i was burning more energy so you need to eat to regain energy! My friend is very skinny and also has the same concerns but she dances and is one of the BEST dancers i know (she does hip hop 2)! good luck!
p.s. you will look less stiff after 1. you get the hang of it and 2. you streach durring class! i am shure you will make a great dancer!

I'm actually kind of skinny too. It's true that power moves like the windmill and freezes may take some upper body strength, but here's what my instructor told me... "Do you see any body builders break?" -David. As you dance, you will gain that strength, it just comes over time! Work on some push ups, crunches, and when you're ready, go for it. At the moment, I'm still working on basics. Good luck to us both ;)

well, most likely you would gain some muscle mass, which would help you gain some weight. in a good way.

Body mas has nothign to do with how stiff you look.. its ur rythym adn dancing skills....

it amy actually make u gain weight. bc of the increase of exercise u will probably gain muscle, which weighs more than fat and will cause u to gain weight .

i started hip hop in 4th grade with basics. then when it came to more advanced hip hop i had to start working out to get some muscle. since muscle weighs more than fat i gained weight. & the stiffness may be from being boney but practice loosening up. turn some music on at home & just try free styling. try being goofy & doin your own thing

goodluck though i hope it all works out =)

Probably not
You would lose weight with all the stretches you do but you would get muscles that would add to your weight and make you less skinny

and someone please answer my question
