Position:Home>Dancing> My mom signed me up for a dance class..?


Question: My mom signed me up for a dance class!.!.!?
im 15 and i dont have much dance background!. My mom doesnt even know what kind of dance it was, or if she does she doesnt want to tell me or something!. the only reason she signed me up is because my other extra-currricular activity ended and she likes me doing things!.

im realy nervous, i dont know WHAT dance it is, so i dont knows what to wear, what to prepare for!. im scared i wont learn steps and im afraid that maybe the other people in the class already know eachother and established their group of friends!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Don't be scared about what dance it is!. You should have some faith in your mom, relax and actually be excited about this!.

If you don't know what to wear, then just wear something comfortable!. Since this is your first time and you don't want to get exhausted easily since dance often requires a lot of energy and movement, just wear something you can move around in easily, like sweatpants and a T-shirt!. Next time you go, you'll have a better idea of what to wear if you wear the wrong thing (like, if you're required to wear some sort of uniform or something)!.

Prepare yourself by bringing some water when you're thirsty!.

Don't worry about learning steps!. Again, this is your first time, so it's okay to make mistakes!. You'll be able to get used to the different movements and the instructor will go over steps and the whole routine so you can get it down!. :)

If people in the class already know each other and are friends, why not talk to them anyway, become acquaintances and maybe enlarge your own little circle of friends!? Whether or not the people there are new or not, you should at least try to get along with people and try to befriend them!. Think of this like your first day of school!. :)

Good luck & hope this helps :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

eww!. i hate dance, it sucks!.!.!.i have never liked it!. when i was little, my mom made me take a class, but i didnt want to go, but i had to, so when we got there, in the middle of class i thre a tempertantrum and then my mom took me home and we never went back :D but you cant do that because you are fifteen, so just see which people you would be most friendds with, and talk to them, and as far as clothes, call the teacher and ask, or just wear something you can move around in!. As for remembering the moves, just write them down

or something and practice a few times before bed, and a few times after you get up! (yeah i learned this from colorguad tryouts, but when i realized i would have to dance i quit learning the stuff, hahahahaha like right now i should be dancing hahah but i'm not!!! :D yay)

hope i helped :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

Contact the instructor and ask them what will be expected of you, what to wear, what to bring, etc!. If you want, you can discuss your dance level (beginner) with the instructor and see if the class is appropriate for a student with your dance background (little to none)!. I'd say: go for it!. You could really have an incredible experience! If it is terrible!.!.!. at least you tried it out to see if you would like it!. If you never tried it at all, how would you know if you would even enjoy the class or dancing!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im also 15 and dont worry!

Maybe at first youll suck!.!.!.like everybody else who's trying something new!.!.!.believe me!.!.!.but after some classes u wont be that lost,and youll start to notice that youre getting better!.!.!.!. u should wear someting comfortable like a sweatshirt or someting n maybe sneakers or depending on the dance,some ballet flipflops!.!.(dont really know how they r called) dont worry about people, if they already have a group of friends,they wont mind another one!.!.!.and remember the possibility that they could be alone and scared just like u!!! then thatll be easy

ah!.!.!.if youre to worried about sucking at it!.!.!.!.other people will suck too!!! so laugh together

I'd probably contact your dance teacher and ask her what to wear!. You will need the proper shoes too so if you are taking ballet brng ballet shoes!. you might have a little trouble at first because you're new to dance but you'll get after a while!. (it helps to practice what you learn in class at home) If you just be yourself and be nice to people you will probably make friends!. the girls in the dance class probably will want to make friends with you!. just try your hardest and have fun!

First off relax!. its a class!. the purpose of a class is to learn something you probably dont already know!. Try to contact the instructor to see what you should do to prepare for class!. If you can t reach an instructor then just show up in sweats!. They are universal and they are comfortable!. Make friends wiht the instructor and do your best to impress him/her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

when i frist started my dance class, thats exactly wht happened for me, except i knew wht it was! my advice is to bring a friend! talk to her on your free time and also try to make friends with the other girls!. as for everything else just wear some work out clothers and socks and/or tennishoes!. or for ur first day ask wht u need, if wht ur wearing is fine, if not stay out, watch their steps an practicing( unless wht ur wearing is fine for that day) and go out and buy wht u were asked! i hope this helps!

just wear hardcore jeans and like a tank or sumthin!. just in case you may want to bring like shorts or sweatpants if u want!. bring a mp3 player or something cause music is a good way to start a convo and youll be sure to make friends plus you probanly wont get bored ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just wear anything that you can move in!. Sweats and a T is just fine!. Dont be nervous just go and see what it is like i bet it will be fun!. And Dont worry dancers will open up to you and we make new friends with them! Have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

just wear sweat clothes that r tight but not choking!. and make sure u stretch and warm up!. eat a healthy snak 30 minutes b4 and drink lots of water!. just make sure u dont gotta p in the middle of the dance!Www@QuestionHome@Com

just wear dancing clothesWww@QuestionHome@Com

here's my idea for finding out what type of dance it is: first find out what day(s) of the week it's on and at what time!. then check the website of the studio and see if they have a schedule posted (if not just call the studio for one)!. now you just have to see what class is on the day/time you have class!. if you don't know the day/time, ask your mom by saying a friend of yours wants to make plans but you need to know when dance is so that there isn't a conflict!.

once you know what kind of dance it is, then you can find out what to wear by checking the studio's dress code!. don't worry about not knowing the steps right away!. hopefully your mom put you in a beginner class so you won't be the only one who's new at this!. you'll catch on eventually!. just make sure you practice at home!. as far as friends go, don't worry about it!. i didn't know anyone in my class when i first started and i've actually ended up making some really great friends from dance!. it might not happen right away but by your first show, i promise you'll end up being really close with a lot of the girls in your class!. you already have something in common with them (you're all dancers) and you'll end up spending a lot of time with them all (at classes/rehersals/shows/etc)!.

best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
