Question

Im fourteen. about 170 and chunky and im gonna sign up for a dance class for the first time, and im self concious because im pretty sure ill be surrounded by skinnier people and might not be able to do as much.

Answer 1

Of course you can dance!!!  Anyone can learn how to dance regardless of size, shape, color, or age.  Yes, there may be people who look different than you, but bottom line is that, if you want to dance, then DANCE!  No need to be self-conscious (I know it's easier said than done).  Everyone is going to that class to learn to dance.  And I'm sure you're beautiful the way you are.  Just hold your head high, listen and learn.  

I would keep in mind that your dancing is directly related to your lifestyle, and that healthy eating habits and exercise will help you be a better dancer all around.  That will come with time.  Just keep that in mind.  

Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance, they had a girl on the Milwaukee auditions who was heavier set, but she sure could move!!!  And she never gave up.  She was an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others.  Her name was Yesenia if you have time to read about her...

Don't worry about looks, who's better than who, just go in there and dance and learn.  Thats the reason you're going to class, right!?  Good luck to you in classes.  I hope this helps.
