I took an African dance class and did terrible. Does anyone have any advice on how to get better?

Question

It was from Senegal. Plenty of foot and arm work. I want to go back but I am embarassed just thinking about it. Plus, I am a big girl and all this weight gets in the way.Any helpful hints?

Answer 1

For one, don't let your weight be an excuse. I see plenty of larger women dance and they aren't terrible!

But my advice, as with any dance, you can't just dance at the class. You have to practice as your house too. Being good at something usually doesn't come naturally, you have to work to become better!

Answer 2

Just try to relax and give it your all. That's really all you can do. If you want to be good and succeed, you must let your gurad down a bit and just do it. Good luck! :O)
