“Yeah nah, I’d just embarrass myself.”
“I’d look so cringe.”
“I’ve got two left feet.”
“Everyone else knows what they’re doing.”
“That’s defs not my thing.”
Sound familiar? It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of something before we’ve even given it a go, or stand on the sidelines acting like we’re too cool for it, when really we’re just worried about looking silly.
And yep, me too! I’ve battled those thoughts myself. I’ve even chatted with some incredible professional dancers and instructors who are now so successful at what they do, and heard how they initially held themselves back from getting on the dance floor because they were scared of looking like an idiot. So if you’re feeling that way, you’re definitely not alone! Even the people you see confidently dancing now were beginners once. We’ve all had to start somewhere.
But honestly, who cares?! You don’t have to look good at something to enjoy it. Miss the steps, do something weird with your arms, laugh at yourself and keep going!!
I’d hate for you to miss out on something you might really love just because those thoughts convinced you to sit it out. Give yourself permission to be new at something. Trying something new can feel uncomfortable, but you might discover a whole side of yourself you didn’t know was there.
That’s what I love about these moments… people giving it a go, being a little silly and discovering a fun, playful side of themselves they might not have had much chance to let out before.
If you’ve been wanting to come but keep talking yourself out of it, come give it a go! You don’t need to know the dances or bring someone with you. We’re here to help you get started!
