- Feel confident, even if you aren’t, know that you can be by just holding your head up with a straight back as you walk into class.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, you have one less thing to worry about
- You may think others are judging you but they aren’t as they may have similar issues as yourself
- Be present, listening to teacher and feeling the vibe and beat of the music, most times you can sing along to feel more comfortable.
- Most times you can video the teacher or class to take home and practice the choreograph
- Finally, just simple: Smile and have fun and make the most of meeting new people and dancing
