Question:

Joining dance class: nervous! any suggestions?

im 18 years old and i am going to join a hip hop class early next year and i am very nervous. i have had no previous training of hip hop but was a ballerina for 10 years. i havent danced in about 3 years. the class is for people 13 and up. im worried about how intimidating the class could be or how i would feel if im the worst dancer there. it might be awkward meeting new people and not having any previous hip hop training since im joining alone. do you guys have any suggestions or can tell me how your experience first joining a hip hop class was?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You'll be fine. 10 years of ballet will give you a strong base. I joined a hip hop class at 30 with a group of 18 year olds and I was definitely the worst dancer in the class. I survived because dancing is about fun and your body. Dont' worry about the others in the class. Work on yourself. Besides you may be surprised by how supportive a class can be if you're there to learn to dance, not to compete with one another.
