I have trouble picking up moves because I lack self confidence. My teacher told us that you can get the moves wrong and that's ok, as long as you feel the moves. You know, express them. But I feel self consious in expressing them if you know what I mean. I'm consious of other people in the class. What is the best way to improve and get over this?
 
dance in front of mirrors at home. smile at yourself. Try free form dancing at home--put on music and just move as the rhythm hits you. Your 'style' will develop and when you learn to concentrate on the music, you will forget about the others around you.

Use the music and the dance to get out the feelings of your day, anger, hurt whatever.

There are probably many with the same fears in the class. Just move to the music and let it move you.
 
don't worry about the other people in the class, their all there to do the same as you! Don't be embarrassed at all. and dance as if no one is watching. i bet u don't lack the confidence when your on your own. Just remember, everyone is at the class for the same reason so don't be shy.. no one will laugh if you do get something slightly wrong, you just do it again and again till you get it right. and you could even try asking someone to show you something you are having difficulty in, rather than just watching feeling shy, GET INVOLVED, u will enjoy it a lot more!

Have fun!

Just keep practicing in your own free time :) I use to have the same feelings as you and at times i still do, but just try and block everyone out of your mind. Pretend their not there for a sec !!! It might be difficult for starters becuase it's obvisous that their in the room but just set your mind on the music and not them. You will feel really awkward at the start but you won't look it. Trust me, iv'e been there.
Other people in the class feel the same way as you, but they try and look confident !! Looking confident makes you feel confident. Just try harder next time okieeee :) This time be more determind :)

x Good Luck x
