I am just now coming to terms with the fact that i am pretty terrified for some reason to seek out the BD classes in my area that i would like to. I have some workshops i've signed up for and the dates, addresses, and prices of classes in my area that id like to take. Im fortunate to live in a city with lots of BD options, but not sure if ill feel comfortable. I keep making excuses and putting off going. Ive already done the i'll go when i loose a few lbs. well ive lost weight. Once i didnt go because i was like "i wonder if they have a dressing room" ill need to be changed prior to class. no biggie. Just an excuse.
Im sooo nervous for some reason. I'm somewhat new to the area...im definitely not local, and im older than a college student. Im basically afraid that i wont fit in. Ive taken classes other places and even performed dance (non-BD) but im so scared to take the leap and get involved in the BD community in my area. Im basically afraid that they'll not be friendly or that i wont "fit in" (causing unfriendliness).
These fears may be completely irrational and normal as most people have first class anxieties. And most ironically (for ME dance class), im scared that the classes wont be diverse: nothing wrong with sticking out like a sore thumb, but its intimidating at first,lol.
Basically im seeking any helpful antecdotes or similar stories of how fellow dancers got over the fear of attending that first class. Or tips to help me feel more prepared.
This was a pretty vulnerable post on my part so please be kind. And thanks in advance for any advice offered.
