Start out in the back of the room where no one can see you and move your way up as you get use to it. It might get you over all the stiffness and nervousness. It might even help if you have a friend go with you that makes you feel good about yourself to encourage you. Once you get over the jitters, you will probably dance really good, and play the piano without messing up. Good Luck!!! you can learn how to dance, i've been dancing for 10 years, and i've seen older people come in and learn, and i mean 40 year olds. just find a studio and ask questions on anything you dont understand, if you just have fun your jitters will go away...good luck!
