I learn best by closely watching the teacher, but I could hardly see her moves. I could only see the moves of the other students and I didn't quite trust what they were doing.
The last time I went to hip hop dance class, I stood on the sidelines near the end of class when the instructor asked the class to break out into two groups and asked each group to alternate dancing on the studio floor. I didn't quite get all the steps and was too embarrassed to get up an dance with others watching. This time, I was proud that I joined the group even though I was still as bad as before. I was still missing many steps and it was still awkward-feeling, but it was still important for me to not stay on the side.
Also, I was proud of the fact that I didn't stay in the back of the class. Previously, I kept to the back of the studio throughout the entire class, even though the teacher periodically asked the students to move up a row and change location as the class progressed. Again, I didn't think I was good enough to move to the front. I was afraid of subjecting myself to ridicule for not being able to keep up with the steps. I credit having recently finished the movement class in giving me more confidence to just go for it. It's still baby steps, and definitely still not easy, but it's moving in the right direction.
