I start lessons this week. It's something I've been wanting to do for a couple of years, and I decided to finally do it. I'm a little nervous because dancing is one thing that gives me anxiety, I don't feel like I have much natural rhythm at all, and I want to get over this stupid fear. I'm signed up with a well respected teacher in this area, and I'm getting private lessons so I don't feel more nervous in a large group of people. I'm also a little nervous because I am plus size, and I've got a 2 year old, and all the stretch marks from carrying a 10lb baby. I know I can do this, and I really believe I'll enjoy it, and I know it will be good for me mentally and physically...I just was wondering if anyone else felt like this in the beginning as well? I look forward to reading your stories!
